With the end of the tax year fast approaching, Jupiter is reminding investors planning to use their 2007/2008 Isa allowance to complete their applications ahead of the April 5th deadline.

Contacting their financial adviser

N.B. Investors must ensure that they include their National Insurance Number in their application form.

Gordon Davidson, Joint Managing Director of Jupiter Unit Trust Managers Ltd, comments: "The Isa season this year will be a test of investors' nerves as recent volatility has understandably shaken people's confidence in global stock markets. While sharp downturns in share prices can be difficult to bear, it is often these conditions that present attractive opportunities for long term investors. We believe that the case for investing in equities over the medium to long term remains sound."

"This year, investors need to note that the end of the tax year end falls on a Saturday and so it would be advisable not to leave it until the last minute to benefit from the tax advantages Isas provide."
