Fidelity International announces last minute ISA options

As the end of the tax year draws closer, Fidelity International, the mutual fund manager, announces a range of options for investors to make their ISA investment.

While it may be best to save and invest all year round, last minute ISA investments are inevitable. Acknowledging this, Fidelity is offering investors the chance to invest right up until the midnight deadline through several routes.

Online: Invest online up to midnight on Thursday 5th April 2007 via FundsNetwork, the UK’s leading investment platform (fidelity.co.uk), and choose from over 1000 funds from 55 different providers.

Phone: Invest via Fidelity’s Investorline - freephone 0800 41 41 61 – opening hours will be extended to 10pm on the 2nd April and 11pm on the 3rd April. On the 4th and 5th April, lines will be open until midnight.

Drop-off: Applications can be dropped off in person at:
Fidelity's Investor Centre at 25 Cannon Street, London - open until midnight on Thursday 5th April.
Fidelity's offices in Reigate and Tonbridge are open to midnight on 5th April and Manchester will open from 8am-6pm

Richard Wastcoat, UK Managing Director, Fidelity International, comments: “Every year we see a last minute rush by anxious investors eager to submit their ISA applications before the tax year deadline.

“The range of options we offer for ISAs means the deadline can be stress-free and investors can ensure they don’t lose out on the opportunity to shelter £7,000 tax-efficiently. Investors can choose to invest the way that suits them best. FundsNetwork offers investors choice, low charges and the added benefit of investing within the comfort of their home. ISA investments can also be made by phone or post, and for those very last minute ISAs, investments can be made in person at three of our offices around the country up until midnight on 5th April.”
