The Corporate Bond market is now open for EVERYONE!

Rezaah Ahmad, CEO of investment platformย WiseAlpha, calls for the ISA allowance to be significantly increased.
"To meaningfully improve the UKโs savings landscape, Labour should consider raising the annual ISA allowance to ยฃ40,000.
This increase would better reflect both inflationary changes and a desire to incentivise greater investment ISA usage since the current ยฃ20,000 limit was introduced in 2017 and the growing need for individuals to take greater control of their long-term financial futures and generate wealth above inflation.
An allowance of ยฃ40,000 would provide far more flexibility, enabling savers to effectively build and diversify their portfolios across cash, stocks, shares, bonds, and alternative assets without being constrained by outdated thresholds.
Increasing the overall ISA allowance to ยฃ40,000 would not only promote a stronger national savings culture but also provide the flexibility needed for intergenerational wealth planning and ensure ISAs are fit for purpose in addressing the UKโs long-term financial resilience and retirement security."
Treasury minister Emma Reynolds recentlyย told the Treasury Committee this weekย that the Government is "looking at ISA reform". This is following reports Chancellor Rachel Reeves could introduce a new ยฃ4,000 cap on cash ISAs, to encourage more investing.
WiseAlpha warned bringing in a ยฃ4,000 cap could needlessly penalise people who prefer to put their funds in cash ISAs as they prefer a low-risk way to grow their cash.

Everyone in London!
In the wake of greater moves by the UK regulator and government to open up access to corporate bonds for retail we are running an event here in Canary Wharf called, "Are bonds the next big thing?"
Many of you will know all the work my Firm WiseAlpha has done to champion this effort and we are the first platform in the UK to have achieved this already with our proprietary Fractional Bond trading technology. We invented it.
