    • Please bear in mind

      The value of your client's investment can go down as well as up and is not guaranteed, which means your client could get back less than they originally paid in. Tax and legislation are likely to change in the future, and the information above is based on our interpretation of current law and HMRC rules. The value of any tax benefits will depend on your client's personal circumstances.
