The Autumn 2024 UK Budget, announced by the Labour Chancellor Rachel Reeves on October 30th 2024, presents a range of changes with significant implications for investors. For easyMoney’s investors, understanding how these adjustments could influence investment strategies, tax planning, and long-term financial goals is crucial.

When it comes to maximising your returns in a tax-efficient way, Innovative Finance ISAs (IFISAs) and peer-to-peer (P2P) lending are gaining increasing attention.

However, it is important to fully understand how these products work, including the risks involved.

Efficient cash management is crucial for businesses, whether for managing day-to-day expenses or future growth initiatives. While maintaining liquidity is important, leaving large amounts of cash in low-interest accounts could mean missing out on valuable opportunities for growth. Many companies are now exploring flexible investment options that offer higher returns without sacrificing access to funds when needed.
