You will also be able to take any income from them without declaring it on your Income Tax declaration form. In these days where virtually everything is stealithy being taxed, grab what few opportunities are left for tax free investment with both hands. I can't think of any arguments, if you're buying any of these investments, to have them outside the tax-free wrapper of an ISA. If you want a totally safe investment, go for a building society savings account. However, in the long term its value will (probably) be nowhere near the level that you would achieve through any share-related investment. If you want to research specific funds and unit trust opportunities you will find the Hargreaves Lansdown website very informative.
