J.P. Morgan Asset Management is cutting its initial charge on all lump sum investments in its investment trust ISAs when purchased online.

Consumer confidence in their ability to accrue savings climbed for the third consecutive month in November, research by Nationwide suggests.

ISAs should be made tax-free to kick-start a culture of savings and help people prepare for retirement, says Fidelity.

Aviva Investors has added a discretionary dilution levy fee to its Isa wrapper following a switch in the fund's administrators in September.

The Investment Management Association (IMA) is calling for annual increases in the ISA limit at least in line with inflation.

Investors aged over 50 are positive about the future returns offered by the stock market, according to a survey by Fidelity International.

Two thirds of over 50s plan to up their ISA equity investments, following the increase in limits today.

The ISA has been transformed from a mild-mannered tax efficient savings wrapper into a caped muscle-bound tax buster, says Peter Hicks.

Family Investments has partnered with the Post Office to launch a Guaranteed Capital Bond Cash ISA.
