Tools

Expert research, tools, ideas and information to help you in making investment decisions.

Before you begin

Our interactive tools are here to help you work out how much you need to invest to meet your goals and what you might expect to get back from those investments in future.

As a general rule of thumb, the earlier you start investing the more you stand to gain in the longer-term.

You need to be aware:

The calculator and figures are produced for illustrative purposes only and do not represent any guarantee or advice from IBIS Turkish Bank.

If you have concerns about your savings we recommend that you seek Professional Financial Advice. If you are 50 or over you have access to free guidance from the government service Pensions Wise.

Growth is projected at 5% which is the Financial Conduct Authority’s (FCA) mid growth rate. The rate at which your investments grow will be dependent on a number of factors and your actual investment growth may be lower or higher than projected. A growth rate of 5% assumes you will invest in equity based investments.

If you save more or less a month than stated or for a shorter time period this will impact the projected value of your investments.

We have assumed an investment charge of 0.75% to cover underlying investment charges and also dealing charges. The investments you select and how often you deal may mean that the actual charge you incur will be higher or lower than 0.75%.

Important information

Please remember the value of your investments and any income from them can go down as well as up and you may get back less than the amount you originally invested.

All investments carry an element of risk which may differ significantly. If you are unsure as to the suitability of any particular investment or product, you should seek professional financial advice.

IBIS Turkish Bank does not give advice. If you are unsure whether our SIPP is suitable for you, of the risks and commitments of investments and or of how much income to take and when, you should seek professional financial advice specific to your particular circumstances.

Laws and tax rules may change in the future without notice. The information here is our understanding in April 2018. This information takes no account of your personal circumstances which may have an impact on tax treatment.
