Saving and Investing

Lesley Curwen presents a phone-in answering listeners' queries about investing and the best rates on cash accounts.

Saving and investing dilemma? For the best rates on cash accounts or to ask about investing, call 03700 100 444 from 1pm to 3.30pm on Wednesday or e-mail moneybox@bbc.co.uk now.

Will Chancellor George Osborne have any good news for savers when he delivers his final Autumn Statement of this parliament on Wednesday?

In his March budget the Chancellor announced that cash and shares Isas would become a new single ISA, with an annual tax-free savings limit of Β£15,000. If you haven't used your annual ISA allowance you may want to ask about the best interest rates?

If you would rather have instant access to your money or a monthly income from your savings, what are the best options for you?

Can you receive interest without tax already taken off?

If you can afford to take a risk and don't need access to your money in the short term how do you find out about investing?

What are the pros and cons of investing through a platform or paying a financial advisor?

Whatever you want to know, Lesley Curwen and guests will be waiting for your call. Joining Lesley will be:

Brian Dennehy, Chartered Financial Planner, FundExpert.co.uk
Claire Walsh, Chartered Financial Planner, Aspect 8
Sylvia Waycot, Editor, Moneyfacts

Call 03700 100 444 between 1pm and 3.30pm on Wednesday or e-mail moneybox@bbc.co.uk now. Standard geographic charges apply. Calls from mobiles may be higher.
