Synopsis

• Interest rates are at their lowest levels since
  individual savings accounts (ISAs) began, which
  significantly reduces consumers commitment to
  saving. As a result, consumers those who can
  afford to save are starting to opt either for
  stocks and shares accounts or deciding to pay off
  long-standing debts with higher interest rates.
• The average rate offered on cash ISAs fell from
  2.55 at the start of 2012 to 1.74 in February
  2013, and to just 1.64 at the start of 2014. The
  average rates for savings accounts fell from
  5.09 in 2008 and 1.48 in 2014, which highlights
  the impact of the recession and the availability
  of cheap funds for the banks.
• Eight out of every 10 ISAs opened in FY20132014
  were still cash ISAs however, as savers remained
  risk-averse, despite banks offering the worst
  interest rates on record. Stocks and shares ISAs
  are starting to recover however, following a
  substantial decline in the number for accounts
  from FY20102011 to FY20112012.

Synopsis

• The amount subscribed to stocks and shares ISAs
  has increased considerably since FY2009 from
  GBP12.5 million to GBP18.4 million - which
  suggests that a smaller percentage of wealthier
  people, who can afford the increased risk, are
  filling these ISAs to the limit.
• The BoEs central bank rate has remained at 0.5
  since 2009, providing banks with an unparalleled
  level of cheap funds, meaning that the banks have
  significantly less need to compete for funds from
  consumers. The introduction of the governments
  Funding for Lending scheme providing up to
  GBP80.0 billion to major banks to subsidize
  mortgage lending has further reduced the banks
  need for funds, which has had a considerable
  impact on the savings market.
• There have been an estimated 2,560 savings
  products cut since the introduction of the
  Funding for Lending scheme in August 2012, as of
  November 2014.Real wages endured negative growth
  for most of the 20082014 period, despite
  positive growth for the last three months of
  2014.

Synopsis

• This, combined with soaring house prices and
  energy bills, means that consumers were squeezed
  during the recession, and are subsequently less
  able to set aside amounts every month for savings
  accounts. House prices in the UK increased by
  18.6 between 2009 and 2014 rising by 9.9 in
  2014 alone, according to Nationwides house price
  index.
• Research by consumer body Which found that the
  price of gas and electricity grew by 127 from
  20032004 to 20132014, and that the average
  household is paying GBP410.0 more per year for
  energy, despite using less.Several changes have
  been made to ISA regulation to try to stimulate
  the industry in the face of low interest rates,
  since the Funding for Lending scheme.
• New ISAs (NISAs) were introduced in the April
  2014 budget, which increased the upper annual
  limit for an individual to GBP15,000.0. Tax
  advantages were also introduced in Chancellor
  George Osbornes 2014 Autumn Statement, allowing
  ISAs to pass tax-free to a spouse after death.
  Osborne also announced that there will no longer
  be capital gains tax for profits of under
  GBP11,000.0 on stocks and shares ISAs.

Key Market
Reasons To Buy Gain an understanding of the UK
ISA industry Key highlights Consumer credit
growth has shown consistent signs of growth in
2014, for the first time since before the
financial crisis. This is in a large part due to
consumer confidence also recording a positive
number for the first time since the credit
crunch, low interest rates and a steadily growing
GDP, as nearly every category of lending has
grown up to July 2014.Demand for and availability
of credit also grew in both the second and third
quarters of 2014, which has been a key
factor. To Get More Details Enquire _at_
