Some 20.3mn people, or 44 per cent of the UK adult population, are now living in financially vulnerable circumstances, according to a two-year study by not-for-profit Fair4All Finance and research agency Trajectory, which warned that these people “face paying more just for being poor”. People with flaws in their credit scores risk being excluded from acce…

    Which investment platform has the lowest fees?

    When Linda acquired a lump sum of cash last year after a business sale, she wasn’t sure what to do with it. “I put most of it in bank accounts — it terrified me,” she says. But, determined to make the investment decisions herself, she set about teaching herself about the best place for her money. It was only then that she made a discovery about the investment platform she had used for a decade. “I used Hargreaves Lansdown for around 10 years and had no idea how expensive they were,” says Linda…

    Rush of fund manager interest drives metals prices to fresh highs

    A flurry of speculation by futures market traders has pushed prices of metals such as copper and gold to all-time highs, as funds bet on upcoming shortages in supplies and try to hedge against inflation. Copper has rallied 30 per cent since the start of March to break through $11,000 per tonne this week, its highest level ever. That has helped lift the prices of other industrial metals from aluminium to zinc. The rush of investor buying has also pushed gold through its previous records to hit…

Guest speakers have included Bill Clinton, Bob Geldof and David Beckham, while top-performing advisers were paraded onstage to huge cheers from their colleagues at a company that was famed for its sales-driven culture. One former employee says they were “gobsmacked” at how “lavish” that event w…

    Abolishing IHT tax reliefs could raise £3bn, IFS finds - Financial ...

    Removing three key inheritance tax reliefs could raise £3bn for the Treasury in the current tax year and would result in a fairer system, according to a leading think-tank. Eliminating the special treatment of shares listed on Aim (the Alternative Investment Market), capping agricultural and business reliefs and taxing defined contribution pension pots when they are passed down would raise £2.7bn in the 2024-25 tax year, the Institute for Fiscal Studies said in a report on Thursday.

    UK adults are increasingly reducing the amount they save and invest as price rises continue to weigh on household finances. The percentage of people in the UK who either stopped or reduced saving or investing as a result of the high cost of living rose to 44 per cent in January this year, compared with 40 per cent a year ago, according to a survey from the Financial Conduct Authority. The rate of inflation in the UK peaked at 11.1 per cent in October 2022 but has not yet come down to the Bank…
