If you save or invest money, you'll generally have to pay tax on any interest or income you get, but there are some ways of investing that give you a more efficient, or even tax-free, return.
Self-Select ISAs allows you to buy and sell shares but any growth and returns are free from any further income tax liability and capital gains tax.
The Bespoke Discretionary Service and the Value Investment Portfolio use ISAs to maximise the tax efficiency of the portfolios through generating tax-free income and sheltering gains from capital gains tax.

Capital Gains Tax (CGT) is payable on the sale or disposal of an asset. The CGT annual allowance for the 2012/2013 tax year is £10,600. Gains are treated as the 'top slice' of an individual's income and taxed at marginal rates; the rate is 18% up to the higher rate threshold and 28% on amounts above.
Our investment managers will always have regard to your tax situation when making investment decisions, although gains will be taken above your annual allowance when appropriate. Should you have any large gains from the sale of other assets or businesses and not wish to take any more from your portfolio then please advise your investment manager. Similarly, if you have any losses that can offset gains then please advise us so that the full picture can be taken into account.
