Jupiter is reminding investors that they need to get their skates on if they want to make use of their 2008/2009 ISA allowance.
The end of the ISA season falls on a Sunday this year. So, investors will need to get their applications to Jupiter on 4 April 2009 to ensure they meet the deadline. Investors can apply for their Jupiter ISA by:
- Calling customer services on 020 7314 7600. Telephone lines will be open from 9am until 5pm on Saturday 4 April 2009.
- Posting their application to: Jupiter Unit Trust Managers Ltd, PO Box 300, West Malling, Kent ME19 4YY (ensuring the application is received by 4 April 2009 as there is no Royal Mail service on 5 April 2009).
- Delivering their application by hand to Jupiter Unit Trust Managers Ltd, 32 Tower View, Kings Hill, West Malling, Kent ME19 4YY. This office will be open until 5pm on Saturday 4 April 2009. Please note our London office will not be open on Saturday 4 April 2009.
- Contacting their financial adviser.
N.B. Investors must ensure that they include their National Insurance number in their application form.
Gordon Davidson, Joint Managing Director of Jupiter Unit Trust Managers Ltd, said: "Last year proved a strong one for Jupiter with regard to fund inflows and this trend has continued into 2009. This is very pleasing considering the continued volatility in stock markets and indicates that investors are prepared to take a long-term view with their investments.
"This year, investors need to note that the end of the tax year end falls on a Sunday so applications must be received by 5pm on Saturday. So, it would be advisable not to leave it until the last minute to benefit from the tax advantages ISAs provide."
