How to double your Isa allowance

Cash Isas are fine as far as they go. But savings limits and interest rates are low. However, there is a way to get a better rate and effectively double your Isa allowance by exploiting a new market ripe for investors. Bengt Saelensminde explains how.

It'sIsa season. And if you haven't availed of your entitlement to stash £10,200 ofsavings free of incometax and capital gains, you have until just 5 April to do so.

If you've already used your allowance, then stay with me today. Because I have a very interesting proposal for you. Something that you can do as soon as next year's allowance comes into play on 6 April.

He started stock market investing at the age of 13, and this eventually led to a job in the City of London in 1995. He started on a bond desk at Cantor Fitzgerald and ended up running a desk at stockbroker's Cazenove.

 

Bengt left the City in 2000 to start up his own import and beauty products business which he still runs today.
