The value of investments (and any income received from them) can fall as well as rise and you may not get back what you invested. For some investments this can also happen as a result of exchange rate fluctuations as shares and funds may have an exposure to overseas markets.

Any investment should be considered as a medium to long-term investment, that is, it should be held for at least five years.

For products which have a fixed term, you may get back significantly less than you paid in if you make early withdrawals.

The value of the tax benefits depends on your individual circumstances. Tax rules may change in the future.

The information on this website does not constitute advice.

If you decide to apply direct, that is without receiving advice, you should understand that we are not required to assess the suitability of these funds for you. Therefore you will not be protected by the FSA's rules on assessing suitability. Please note that first direct does not give investment advice. If any doubt about the suitability of this investment speak to an independent qualified financial advisor.
