In the meantime, here are some of the main options to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-cash-savings-account\">Cash savings account<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A cash savings account is a good choice if you want to use your lump sum to fund short-term goals \u2013 a holiday or new car perhaps \u2013 or if you\u2019re not quite sure what to do with it yet. By holding your lump sum in a cash savings account, as opposed to investing it in the stock market, you won\u2019t run the risk of your money falling in value just before you need to access it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t need your money for several months, you may wish to consider a notice or fixed-term savings account, as these may offer higher rates than easy-access savings accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s always worth shopping around to find the best rate on your savings, as a difference of only 0.5% could have a big impact on large sums of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-uk-government-bonds\">UK government bonds<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to use your windfall to fund a medium-term goal, UK government bonds (\u2018gilts\u2019) could be an attractive choice. Gilts are secure savings vehicles that are guaranteed by the government and listed on the London Stock Exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gilt interest is taxed as income. However, gilts are completely free from&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/ten-ways-reduce-your-cgt-liability\">capital gains tax<\/a>&nbsp;(CGT), which means you don\u2019t have to pay CGT on any profits you make when you sell or redeem the gilt. This is particularly useful for higher and additional-rate taxpayers, who would otherwise pay CGT at 24%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stock-market\">Stock market<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For longer-term goals, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/private-clients\/our-services\/pensions-and-retirement-planning\" class=\"link-underline\">retirement<\/a> or leaving a legacy for the next generation, you may wish to invest some of your lump sum in the stock market. Although the stock market is volatile, history shows that it tends to outperform cash and bonds <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/why-long-term-investing-matters\" class=\"link-underline\">over long periods<\/a>. You should be comfortable committing your money for at least five years, ideally longer. This will hopefully give your investments time to recover from any stock market downturns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to reduce risk is to spread your money across different asset classes, such as equities, bonds and cash, as well as across sectors and regions. This is because different assets, sectors and regions tend to perform differently to one another in a range of market conditions. At RBC Brewin Dolphin, we can help you build a <a class=\"link-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/how-to-build-a-diversified-portfolio\">diversified portfolio<\/a> that suits your needs and attitude to risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-investment-isa\">Investment ISA<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you haven\u2019t already used up your Individual Savings Account (ISA)&nbsp;allowance this year, investing your lump sum in an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/four-reasons-to-invest-in-an-isa-this-year\" class=\"link-underline\">Investment ISA<\/a> will give it the opportunity to grow over the long term, while also shielding it from CGT and income tax. If you sell investments outside of an ISA, you could be charged tax on the profits you make above your annual CGT exemption. And if your investments pay dividends or interest, this could be included when calculating your overall income tax bill, potentially pushing you into a higher income tax bracket.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The ISA allowance is currently \u00a320,000. It is a \u2018use it or lose it\u2019 allowance, which means you can\u2019t carry it forward from one tax year to the next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-pension\">Pension<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Another option is to make the most of your <a class=\"link-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/understanding-your-pension-annual-allowance\">annual pension allowance<\/a>. You can invest up to \u00a360,000 or 100% of your UK relevant earnings (whichever is lower) into pensions each year and benefit from income tax relief, up until age 75. Income tax relief provides an immediate boost to your personal pension contributions, helping to supercharge how much money you have at retirement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some circumstances, you might be able to \u2018carry forward\u2019 unused annual allowances from the previous three tax years. The rules around carry forward are complex, so make sure you seek advice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bear in mind that your pension annual allowance <a class=\"link-underline\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rbcwealthmanagement.com\/en-uk\/insights\/how-to-navigate-the-annual-allowance-taper\">might be lower<\/a> than \u00a360,000 if you earn a high income or have already flexibly accessed your defined contribution pensions. We can help you work out how much your annual allowance is and whether making a pension contribution is the right choice for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-next-steps\">Next steps<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At RBC Brewin Dolphin, we\u2019ll help you understand which types of savings and investments suit your individual needs and goals, so you can feel confident you\u2019re making the right decision with your money.
