Part 5/8:
A Stocks and Shares ISA presents an excellent investment vehicle outside of pensions, allowing easier access to funds without tax implications. It is essential for those planning early retirement; you won’t have access to pension funds until at least age 55. The ability to withdraw from an ISA allows for greater flexibility in planning for urgent goals.
