- Plus 1.25% ISA initial charge discount across Jupiter's range of equity funds

With the end of the tax year fast approaching, Jupiter is reminding those investors planning to use their 2006/2007 ISA allowance to make their applications ahead of the midnight deadline on April 5th.

Direct investors can benefit from a 1.25% discount on the initial charge for the full range of unit trusts (excluding the Cash fund), managed by Jupiter's highly-rated fund management team. The discount offer is available until 30 April 2007.

Investors can apply for their Jupiter ISA on April 5th 2007, by:

• Calling Customer Services on 020 7314 7600 (service available until 10.30 pm)
• Posting their application to: Jupiter Unit Trust Managers Ltd, PO Box 300, West Malling, Kent ME19 4YY (ensuring the application is received by 5th April 2007)
• Contacting their financial adviser
• Delivering their application by hand to Jupiter Unit Trust Managers Ltd, 1 Grosvenor Place, London, SW1X 7JJ (from 7.30am until 7pm on 5th April ) or; Jupiter Unit Trust Managers Ltd, 32 Tower View, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent ME19 4YY  from 7.30am until 10pm  on 5th Aprilh)

Gordon Davidson, Joint Managing Director of Jupiter Unit Trust Managers Ltd, said, "The strong increase in sales we have seen in recent months indicates that investor confidence in equities is strong, despite recent volatility. We expect this uplift to continue as the end of the tax year approaches over the coming days.

"But every year some investors inadvertently miss out on their ISA allowance because their application doesn't get in on time or because they make mistakes on their application forms that cannot be rectified before the midnight deadline. With any unused ISA allowance expiring at midnight on April 5th we urge investors not to risk losing this benefit by leaving their ISA applications until the last minute."
