Watch this episode of the Investing Show on the player above, where Simon Lambert, of This is Money, and Matt Conradi, of Netwealth, discuss what investors can do to make the most of the tax-free investing options that they have now.
They also talk about what they should do before the end of the tax year with their Isas and pensions.
Matt also explains how to come up with a financial plan that's right for you and make your investments work.
