An adviser’s insight
Aim to maximise your cash savings
It might shock you to know that 28% of people hold their cash in interest-free savings accounts(1), receiving no return on their hard-earned money. Because under current rules a basic rate taxpayer can earn up to £1,000 in interest from their savings without paying tax, these people could be missing out on a significant financial boost that they could be enjoying.
This is even more relevant when you consider that the average person typically holds up to 25% of their available money on cash deposit(2). So, by reviewing your cash and tackling any ‘lazy money’, you’ll be making a great start at getting your finances in shape and achieving longer-term financial security.
If your money isn’t working as hard as it could, I can help. By making it easy to access potentially better interest rates, I can help you to aim to maximise your cash savings – giving you more money to spend on the things you enjoy or helping you grow your money towards a longer-term goal.

Testimonials
J Higgins
Shazana has been my financial advisor for almost 20 years. When she took over she conducted a complete review of my investment portfolio as my circumstances had changed. After discussing my financial needs and objectives she made a number of very sensible proposals to simplify the management of my portfolio and cut costs.
Significant life events, the death of my wife, retirement, remarriage and establishing my sons in their own homes have been managed in an effective and thoughtful manner. Throughout she has been calm and patient and a fund of good, sensible, advice on the options open to me when changes arose. She also understood my difficulties in making, sometime quite complex, decisions.
