It is an excellent tax efficient ‘wrapper’ that can hold investments such as unit trusts, other collectives such as OEIC’s, shares and cash. They are a very popular way to hold investments, as they provide the investor with excellent long-term tax benefits, as well as flexibility over what investments you choose to hold.
