With just days to go until the end of the tax year, it’s peak season for British savers and investors to make the most of their £20,000 annual Isa allowance before it renews on April 6. Whether you’re a beginner or a more seasoned investor, this episode clearly explains the tax benefits of Isas, how these work in practice and some common investment strategies. Host Claer Barrett breaks down the different types of Isas with FT Money columnist Moira O’Neill and Timi Merriman-Johnson, the financial educator and content creator better known online as Mr MoneyJar. In the edited highlights from an FT webinar, the panel shares tips about everything from getting started and choosing the right platform to asset allocation and ensuring your Isa portfolio is diversified.
