Many were expecting interest rates to drop today so it has come as no surprise that the Bank of England took the decision to drop the rate to 3.5% following a four month freeze. Savers are the ones that suffer from these low interest rates and banks and building societies waste no time in passing on these rate cuts to savers. So what can consumers do to ensure good returns in these uncertain times? IFA Promotion has produced a guide explaining the various savings and investment products available to investors keen to make the most of the money they have saved.
The Guide to surviving on savings when rates are low- aims to demystify some of the jargon surrounding investments as well as providing useful pointers of alternative investments when interest rates are dropping. The guide highlights some specific questions to consider before meeting up with your independent financial adviser and outlines a variety of investment ideas across the whole risk spectrum for the investor to consider.
David Elms, Chief Executive of IFA Promotion said; Todays monetary policy announcement showed that there is no sign of a slowing down in the lowering of rates for savers. If consumers are worried about what these rates are doing to their stashed cash, now is a good time to sit down with an independent financial adviser to see if the savings vehicle they are using is going to meet their financial objectives.
