Investing for longer increases the likelihood of positive returns.

Over a period of 5 years or more, investments usually give you a higher return compared to cash savings. But investments can go down as well as up in value, so you could get back less than you put in. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.

Your money is protected

The Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) protects the eligible money you hold with us.
