UK sees 52% rise in people with more than

The number of ISA millionaires rose from 5,070 in April 2023 to 7,730 a year later. The average ISA millionaire held investments worth 1.348 million, while the top 25 averaged nearly 12 million each. The cash ISA allowance for under-65s is due to fall to 12,000 from April 2027, although the overall annual ISA limit will remain 20,000. The number of ISA millionaires in the UK has jumped by 52 per cent in a year, with 7,730 people holding tax-free investment pots worth at least 1 million, according to figures from HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC). The data, obtained through a freedom of information request by financial app Plum, showed an increase of 2,660 people from the 5,070 recorded in April 2023. The figures relate to holdings as of April 5, 2024, and were rounded to the nearest 10. The figures highlight how long-term investing and compound growth can help build substantial wealth within Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs), which allow eligible savings and investment returns to grow free from UK income tax and capital gains tax. Will Bryant, director of wealth strategy at Plum, reportedly said: A jump of more than 50% in a single year is really telling. He said ISA millionaires were not people who had suddenly saved their way to 1 million. Its the result of years of patient investing, where the growth on your growth starts doing the heavy lifting. Thats the bit people underestimate, he said, according to reports. How much do ISA millionaires have invested? HMRCs figures showed that the average ISA millionaire held a portfolio worth around 1.348 million in April 2024. Most of the investors, approximately 7,300 people, had ISA holdings between 1 million and 1.999 million. Around 60 people held pots worth 4 million or more, with the average value in this group reaching 7.708 million. The mean market value among the 25 largest ISA holdings was 11.928 million. HMRC cautioned that the figures should be treated as a guide. ISA managers submit information about individual accounts annually, but some records may contain errors or fail to arrive, meaning the data may not capture every holding accurately. Bryant said the figures underlined the importance of taking a long-term approach to investing, despite geopolitical uncertainty and market volatility. He also pointed to the performance of global markets, particularly US equities, as a factor supporting portfolio growth. However, there is no guaranteed route to becoming an ISA millionaire. Returns depend on investment choices, market performance, fees, the amount invested and the time money remains invested. Shares and funds can fall in value, and past performance does not guarantee future returns. What is changing for ISA savers in 2027? The figures come as the Government prepares to reduce the annual cash ISA allowance for people under 65 from 20,000 to 12,000 from April 6, 2027. The overall annual ISA allowance will remain at 20,000, while people aged 65 and over will retain a 20,000 cash ISA limit. The change means eligible savers under 65 will still be able to contribute up to 20,000 across their ISAs, but no more than 12,000 of that annual allowance can go into a cash ISA. The remaining 8,000 can be allocated to other eligible ISA types, subject to the applicable rules. Bryant said the changes could encourage some savers to put more money into stocks and shares ISAs to use their full tax-free allowance, but warned that many people might not yet understand what was changing. HMRC figures released in September showed that 135.7 billion was subscribed to adult ISAs in the 2024-25 tax year, an annual increase of 32.7 billion. Cash ISA subscriptions rose by 26.1 billion, or 37.5 per cent, while stocks and shares ISA subscriptions increased by 6.1 billion, or 19.7 per cent. Lifetime ISA subscriptions rose by 472 million, or 20.1 per cent. Financial experts have stressed that ISAs can help people at different stages of life, whether they are building an emergency fund, saving for a home or investing for the longer term. Charlene Young, head of technical at AJ Bell, said investors aspiring to build a seven-figure ISA should start as early as possible and adopt a get rich slow mindset. There isnt a single, sure-fire route to becoming an ISA millionaire, she said, adding that a diversified portfolio held over the long term was generally more suitable for ordinary investors than trying to chase unusually high returns. The rise in ISA millionaires demonstrates the potential of tax-efficient investing over time, but it also reflects the resources available to people who can invest substantial sums and leave them untouched for years. For most savers, the priority is to build a sustainable habit, understand the risks and choose investments suited to their financial circumstances.

Russian strikes leave 600,000 people without power in Ukraine, Zelensky says

Ukrainian rescuers work at the site of a Russian air strike on a residential building in Kyiv [EPA/Shutterstock] At least 600,000 people across Ukraine are now without electricity after deadly overnight Russian missile and drone strikes, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said. He said critical energy infrastructure had been hit in Kyiv and the capital region and also in the north-eastern city of Kharkiv - despite a claim by US President Donald Trump on Sunday that an energy ceasefire was in place between Russia and Ukraine. In Kyiv, at least three people were killed and 21 injured, Ukraine's state emergencies service DSNS said. Russia's defence ministry said its massive strikes overnight had targeted communications and energy facilities in the Kyiv and Kharkiv regions used by Ukraine's military. The defence ministry also said 902 Ukrainian drones had been shot down overnight over a number of Russian regions, including the capital Moscow and Crimea - Ukraine's southern peninsula annexed by Russia in 2014. Ukraine's air force said that overnight, Russia had launched 39 ballistic and cruise missiles and 128 drones, and that four of those missiles and 115 drones had been shot down. On Sunday, Trump wrote in a post on social media: Effective immediately, there is an ENERGY CEASEFIRE in the War between Russia and Ukraine. Both parties have agreed. Do not break it! President Zelensky has since repeatedly said Ukraine is ready to halt its strikes on Russian oil refineries and other energy facilities if Moscow did the same. But Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has said Ukraine does not deserve the respite a ceasefire would bring. Under any truce, he added, Europe would be able to pump [Ukraine] with new weapons for it to continue the war. Russian President Vladimir Putin launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, and Moscow currently controls about 20% of Ukrainian territory.

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 12 (IANS) Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday thanked the thousands of people who joined protests across the country and the millions who expressed solidarity at 3 pm, describing the day as a powerful demonstration that the people of India will not be intimidated. In a post shared after the protests, Gandhi expressed gratitude to the leaders of the INDIA Bloc, Congress party workers, and activists of the alliance. Today was a very important day because we needed to show the government that the people of India are not going to be intimidated. You cannot beat us, threaten us, frighten us. We will not accept being bullied, he said. Gandhi took a sharp dig at the RSS, questioning the absence of those he accused of attacking young children the previous day. I was wondering where the cowards of the RSS who were beating the young children day before yesterday were. Where were those people? Because I didnt see them, he remarked. He challenged them to wear your little scarves and come out when the people of India stand together, calling both the RSS and the Prime Minister bullies who rely only on power and cannot stand up openly. The Congress leader emphasised unity, stating there were no parallel protests but one collective movement. Its one protest, and its a protest where everybody is standing together. Every single person is going to stand against these killers of our Constitution, these killers of our democracy. And were not going to back down, he declared. Gandhi also thanked civil society organisations for their support, saying the movement values and loves them. He concluded by expressing pride in all those who came out to defend the idea of India, the Constitution, and democracy. Im extremely proud of every single person who came out on the streets, he said, adding that everyone worked like a team. The remarks come amid ongoing political confrontations, with the opposition framing the protests as a defence of democratic values against what it terms authoritarian tactics.

Can change protest site but not anger of the people: Congress after Jantar Mantar removed as designated protest site

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Oct 12 (IANS) After Jantar Mantar was de-notified as the designated protest site, Opposition leaders expressed their anguish on Monday, saying that they will not accept the decision as it was arbitrary and that in a democracy, people decide where they can protest. They added that the government can change the protest site but cant reduce peoples anger. Speaking to reporters, Congress MP Manish Tewari said, We want to submit a representation to the Honorable Supreme Court. Therefore, the entire Opposition is collectively going to Barakhamba Road. Let's see where it goes from here. Tewari added, The norm is that the protests and demonstrations take place in Boat Club. People come there. You may change the designated venues for demonstrations, but you cannot reduce people's anger. All India Mahila Congress President Alka Lamba said, How can they end it, and who has decided this? In a democracy, who decides when something will begin or end, where people can go and where they cannot? Democracy will decide this.

The entire country remains firm on the demand for Gyanesh Kumar's resignation, and it will happen, she added. Congress leader Sandeep Dikshit said, I would urge the government not to hold it here either. They should find a place outside the country, because according to them, we are not even citizens of this country. So, they should find a place in Bangladesh, China, or somewhere else and go there to hold it. Why go to such lengths here?

Peoples welfare must guide Centre-TN ties: BJP leader

Digital Desk | Chennai, Oct 12 (IANS) Peoples welfare must guide relations between the Centre and Tamil Nadu, BJP leader Vanathi Srinivasan said on Monday, calling for political differences to be set aside when pursuing projects essential to the states development. In a post on X, the former president of the BJPs national womens wing said governments could differ in their policies and political alliances, but their engagement should be anchored in public welfare and the states progress. Her remarks followed Prime Minister Narendra Modis participation in government programmes in Chennai on Sunday, where development initiatives for Tamil Nadu and the states infrastructure requirements came into focus. Vanathi said the events demonstrated the importance the Union government attached to development projects in Tamil Nadu. They also highlighted PM Modis concern for the state and the Centres contribution to implementing projects intended to support its growth, she said. She welcomed Chief Minister C. Joseph Vijays presentation of Tamil Nadus infrastructure needs before the Prime Minister, describing his decision to outline the states requirements during his speech a positive step. The Chief Ministers requests included Metro rail projects for Madurai and Coimbatore, alongside four-lane road projects and other major infrastructure works, according to her post. Vanathi said advancing such proposals required cooperation across political divides. Governments should give proper consideration to peoples needs and work towards meeting them, rather than allowing differences in political positions to determine the course of development, she said. Her comments placed both the Centres role in supporting Tamil Nadu and the state governments responsibility to articulate its requirements within the same framework of cooperation for public benefit. The BJP leader said the need of the hour was to take forward projects necessary for the states development while ensuring that public demands received appropriate attention and were fulfilled. She stressed that differences over policies or alliances should coexist with cooperation on development. The relationship between the two governments, she said, should ultimately be judged by its contribution to peoples welfare and Tamil Nadus progress, with the states essential infrastructure needs receiving priority in their engagement.
