Investing in smaller UK companies can play a useful role in estate planning because of the tax reliefs available. When you invest in qualifying shares and leave them in your will, the transfer to your beneficiaries after you die should be 100% exempt from inheritance tax (IHT), providing you’ve held them for at least two years.
Your clients can take advantage of this exemption by investing in our IHT portfolio. We select shares in companies listed on AIM and ISDX and actively manage the portfolio on their behalf. By making sure the shares are eligible for business relief, these assets should fall outside their estate for the purposes of IHT.
Your clients will benefit from any income and capital growth of their underlying investments, and they can make additional contributions or withdraw money at any time if their circumstances change. They can also invest through an ISA to maximise the potential tax savings.
Spanning social and financial investments, sustainable investing covers a broad range of environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics. For many of our clients, considering ESG issues is becoming fundamental in helping them ensure that their investments shape better outcomes for society, as well as drive long-term performance.
Central to our sustainable investment approach is the understanding that those companies that can adapt and thrive in a climate of rapid social and environmental change will be more successful in growing their business. Careful consideration of material ESG issues allows us to potentially mitigate risks that could arise from these issues as well as identify opportunities. We work with an extensive team of sustainability specialists as well as proprietary tools from the Schroders Group to help us appraise the companies that we invest in.
Our sustainable investment solutions combine our tailored wealth services with the depth and breadth of expertise at Schroders and our best ideas from across the market. We work with you to understand your values and how to best reflect them in your investment strategy.
Our sustainable investment approach is set out in full in our Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Policy.
