    Money Matters - Immediate inheritance tax saving (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Inheritance tax planning - sometimes you know you have too much money, but you aren't terribly enthusiastic about giving it away. Suppose you have £1 million sitting in deposits and investments which you know you are unlikely to spend (like you do). If it remains in your estate until death and sits above your available exemptions and allowances, some of it could ultimately suffer inheritance tax at 40 per cent. Giving it to the children sounds obvious. But an outright gift normally needs you to

    Money Matters - Pensions and inheritance tax (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Pensions have had a useful second job for many years — security in retirement. Their second was less obvious, but very valuable. If you had enough savings and investments elsewhere, your pension was often one of the last pots you touched because most pension death benefits sat outside your estate for inheritance tax. On deaths from that date, most unused pension funds and pension death benefits will be brought into the inheritance-tax calculation. That doesn’t mean every pension suddenly attract

    Money Matters - When a temporary inheritance tax problem needs temporary insurance (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I have always thought life insurance suffers from a terrible marketing problem. You pay money every month hoping it is wasted. That is not quite the emotional sell of a Mediterranean break. But inheritance tax planning is one area where life assurance can do something very useful: it can create cash exactly when a family may have a tax bill and very little appetite for selling a house, business or investment at the wrong time – a firesale. The important bit is matching the insurance to the probl

    'Who is growing tomorrow’s giants?' - Money Matters (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Following the theme of passive investing... a forest with 10 enormous trees can look magnificent from a helicopter. Walk underneath and find no saplings, poor soil or biodiversity and you have a different picture. Impressive photograph and a very unhealthy forest. That is increasingly how I think about parts of the stock market. The passive argument has been won on cost. Trackers have forced charges down, exposed expensive mediocrity and given ordinary investors access to markets cheaply. Excell

    Money Matters - The paradox of passive (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I love a bargain. I also like brakes on a car. If someone offers me a cheaper car by removing the brakes, I don’t celebrate the saving. I ask how soon we meet the hedge. The message is that we don’t need breaks on straight roads. All straight roads have a bend at some point. Passive investing has been one of the great consumer wins of the last half century. Trackers and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have cut charges, exposed lazy active managers and given ISA and pension investors access to marke
