The Co-operative Investments offers discount on unit trusts and ISAs

The Co-operative Investments has discounted the initial charge on a range of unit trusts by two per cent.

Anyone that invests £7,000 or more into a unit trust or ISA through a Co-operative Financial Adviser before 8 August will pay just three per cent in up front fees, rather than the usual charge of five per cent.

The Co-operative Investments is offering the reduction on a range of products with varying risk profiles, so there should be one to suit the needs of every investor. The funds include the Sustainable Leaders Trust, the UK Growth, UK Income with Growth Trust and European Trust.

Zack Hocking, Head of Investments at The Co-operative Investments, said: "The discount makes a difference because it means more of your investment is working for you straight away. I'd encourage anyone thinking of investing to take advantage of the offer while it's available.

"Even despite periods of volatility, stock market based investments are proven to provide better returns than traditional savings accounts if invested for the long term."

The Co-operative Investments uses a pioneering responsible investment process that fully integrates consideration of financial and ESG (environmental, social and governance) analysis. It believes the approach enables more informed investment decision-making.
