Offer available on Scottish Widows Balanced Portfolio Isa

Wed 29th Mar 2006

It has been announced that a 50 per cent discount is being offered on the initial charges for the Scottish Widows Balanced Portfolio Isa and other Isa offers.

This reduction will only be available on lump-sum investments.

Customers wishing to take up the offer with this year's tax-free allowance must invest by April 5th, while those who want to use their 2006-07 tax-free amount will be given until April 30th to take advantage of the discount.

According to research carried out by Scottish Widows between February 20th and 23rd, 62 per cent of British adults save little or nothing at all.

"This is a shocking statistic as it has never been more important for us to save for our financial futures," said Anne Young, a savings specialist at Scottish Widows.

"Whether as a first step towards a savings habit, or as a method of minimising your tax bill investments, Isas simply can't be ignored."

Scottish Widows is a member of the LloydsTSB group and savers wishing to find out more about the Scottish Widows Balanced Portfolio Isa or other packages can do so by visiting any LloydsTSB branch.
