Reza Attar-Zadeh, Head of Savings and Investments at Abbey, said: "This is a tax efficient way to build a diversified portfolio to save for the future. Since markets have fallen, the product combination of the top paying cash ISA rate offering instant access with an appropriate investment is compelling."

Recent Abbey research has also shown the benefit of investing early in the tax year. A saver who delays depositing the maximum £3,600 into the Super ISA from 6 April 2008 to 5 April 2009 could miss out on interest of £360.00. With 12 million Cash ISA savers in the UK, the potential lost interest could amount to £4.3 billion.
