Our CT Savings Plans
Securing your future needn’t be a challenge and our CT Savings Plans could help you realise your goals.
CT Savings Plans could help longer-term investors that intend to keep their money invested for at least five years. The opening investment amount of £2,000 for an adult account and £1,000 for a child account helps ensure investors with smaller sums to invest can get value for money and reduces the risk they receive a poor financial outcome.

Let's talk about risk
All of our savings plans involve a level of risk and the value of your investments can go down as well as up. The level of risk will depend upon the underlying investments that you choose to hold in the plans. You need to be comfortable that you may not get back the original amount invested. Tax allowances and the benefits of tax-efficient accounts are subject to change and tax treatment depends upon your individual circumstances.
