This means you may need to take a more proactive approach with your inheritance than simply leaving it in a cash savings account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even modest rates of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/how-protect-your-savings-inflation\" class=\"link-underline\">inflation<\/a> could erode the real value of your money over time. If the average annual inflation rate was 2%, a \u00a3500,000 inheritance could be worth just \u00a3305,000 after 25 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To give your money the chance to grow in real terms, you may wish to consider investing at least some of your inheritance in the stock market. Although the stock market has experienced plenty of adversity over the past few decades, history shows that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/why-long-term-investing-matters\" class=\"link-underline\">over periods of ten or more years<\/a>, it tends to perform more strongly than cash and grow above the rate of inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"614\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/wme\/uk\/500k-inheritance-image.png?w=1024\" alt=\"Asset class performance 2025\" class=\"wp-image-43864\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Source: LSEG Datastream <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The graph above shows how different asset classes have performed compared to cash. Any balanced portfolio consisting of a mix of stocks and bonds, for example, would have outstripped cash returns by a good margin over the long term. Of course, investing comes with more risk than holding your money in a cash account, your investments may lose as well as gain value, and there are fees to consider. To better preserve your portfolio over the long term, it\u2019s recommended to diversify your investments<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-diversify-to-reduce-risk\">Diversify to reduce risk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your main aim is capital preservation, the thought of investing your inheritance could make you feel anxious \u2013 and understandably so. If you\u2019ve retired, your ability to recover from dips in the market will most likely be lower than for someone who is still earning and accumulating wealth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The key is to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/how-to-build-a-diversified-portfolio\" class=\"link-underline\">build a diversified portfolio<\/a> that spreads your money across different asset classes, including equities, bonds, and cash. This helps to minimise the impact of one particular asset class falling in value. You could diversify further by investing across a range of sectors and regions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Constructing a diversified portfolio is also important if your primary aim is to supplement income from pensions. If one investment or asset class underperforms, the others could cushion the blow and help to maintain a steady income stream.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How much money you allocate to each asset class depends on your individual circumstances. In general, the older you are, the higher your allocation to bonds and the lower your allocation to equities. However, this is a very basic generalisation, and it won\u2019t necessarily be right for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A financial adviser can recommend an investment portfolio that suits your specific needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-don-t-forget-your-tax-allowances\">Don\u2019t forget your tax allowances<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A \u00a3500,000 inheritance is a substantial sum of money, which makes it all the more important to maximise the tax allowances and reliefs available to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making full use of your \u00a320,000 annual ISA allowance is a simple way to shield your money from income tax and capital gains tax, while the personal savings allowance lets you earn up to \u00a31,000 of tax-free interest on savings if you\u2019re a basic rate taxpayer, which is reduced to \u00a3500 for higher rate taxpayers and \u00a30 for those paying at the additional rate of tax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a whole host of other tax-efficient structures and allowances which, used together, could help you preserve more money for your future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now may also be a good time to assess your estate\u2019s <a class=\"link-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/whats-iht-and-how-can-i-plan-mitigate-it\">inheritance tax<\/a> position and, if appropriate, make <a class=\"link-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/tax-efficient-gifts-and-seven-year-rule\">tax-efficient gifts<\/a>. Seeking professional advice early on will help you strike the right balance between passing on money to loved ones and ensuring you have enough for your own needs and goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-next-steps\">Next steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Receiving a large inheritance could make a big difference to you and your plans for the future, but only if you invest it wisely and according to your individual circumstances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given what is at stake, you may want to leave it to the professionals. A financial adviser will look at your life as a whole to develop a <a class=\"link-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/private-clients\/our-services\/financial-planning-and-advice\">comprehensive financial plan<\/a> tailored to your unique needs, so you can rest assured you\u2019ve done the right thing with your money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<table align=\"center\" border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"10\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"width: 90%\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<p><\/p>\n<hr><\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>\n<h5>Get financial planning tips straight to your inbox<\/h5>\n<p>Sign up to our newsletter for expert insights on investing for the future, saving for retirement, passing on assets to the next generation, and much more.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a class=\"link-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/subscribe-to-our-newsletter\">Subscribe<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr><\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<td>&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>The value of investments, and any income from them, can fall and you may get back less than you invested.
