Saving and investing - choosing products
This section explains some of the products that may be suitable for you if you want to save or invest:
- Savings and deposit accounts, which are best suited to saving for the short to medium-term.
- Investments such as unit-linked funds, shares and the stock market or property offer potentially higher returns than savings over the long term, but these plans usually involve some capital risk and the risk of poor returns.
- Lower risk options include tracker bonds, state saving schemes and savings accounts.
