Innovative investing

In this low interest rate environment, many savers are only receiving 1-2% returns from their Cash ISA, yet according to HMRC, the total amount of capital sitting in Cash ISA accounts was almost £40 billion in the 2017-18 tax year.

The Innovative Finance ISA (IFISA) is a tax wrapper for money invested in peer-to-peer loans and other alternative investments and can offer double digit tax-free returns. Whilst the IFISA is an investment rather than a savings product, so capital is at risk, since its launch in 2016 it’s been piquing the interest of savvy investors looking to make their money work harder.

CapitalRise was one of the first property investment platforms to launch an IFISA, back in March 2017. Today, many CapitalRise investors are maximizing their returns by using the IFISA to invest in prime property development and are earning between 8-12% p.a. tax-free.

The CapitalRise platform is simple and easy to use, giving investors the option to use their ISA allowance when investing in prime property development investment opportunities.

CapitalRise members are given detailed information about all opportunities, the level of risk involved and the expected length of time their capital will be tied up before they choose whether to invest and can choose to split their capital across ISA and standard investments if it’s more than their available ISA allowance.

Some investors may feel that investing via the CapitalRise IFISA gives them a balance to their ISA portfolio, with more attractive (although riskier) returns than a Cash ISA but less volatility than a Stocks and Shares ISA.

Many of our investors also decide to transfer in a low-performing Cash or Stocks and Shares ISA. Transferring to the CapitalRise IFISA is easy and the whole process is managed by an expert team.
