Update: Investing for growth
Just as Share plc aims to provide retail investors with an accessible platform to invest for the future, so the company is this year engaging in a significant investment in IT to enable it to meet future customer requirements and secure its own ability to benefit from the prospective growth in the population of self-directed investors. This is set to hold back profitability in 2016, but should provide the platform for longer-term growth. Supporting the investment, at the year-end Share had no debt, cash of nearly £12m and capital 3.6 times the FCA requirement.Share's principal business is The Share Centre Limited. The Share Centre provides services to personal investors on a self-select basis. There are four main account types: Share Accounts, which are dealing accounts capable of holding a range of equities, funds, Exchange Traded Funds, bonds and investment trusts; Individual Savings Account (ISA), which has the same functionality but within the tax efficient savings wrapper of an ISA; Self Invested Personal Pension, which provides a tax efficient route through which to save in order to provide a pension in retirement; and Child Trust Fund/Junior ISA, which can be opened by parents and guardians on an unfunded self-select basis.
