what do investors feel about their investments?
… the pain of absolute loss is greater than the pleasure of absolute gain

risk profiling
• Subjective measures?
– naïve and dangerous
• Risk Profiler
– reflects loss tolerance of a population
– Score identifies investor’s ‘rank’
• Employ a portfolio that targets that volatility
– A ‘no surprises’ portfolio

• w.e.f 06/04/2011 tax relief at basic rate
• Immediate ‘anti avoidance measures’
• ‘Special Annual Allowance’
• ‘Special Annual Allowance charge’
• Regular ‘pension savings’ pattern
![Page 54: ACCA Harrow Investment Planning](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042607/558cbc9ed8b42ad2358b45cb/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Special Annual Allowance
• Individuals with income of £150k or more
• Overall pension savings £20k or more
• Tax relief on additional pension saving at basic rate
• Special annual allowance charge (20%)
• Collected via Self Assessment return
![Page 56: ACCA Harrow Investment Planning](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042607/558cbc9ed8b42ad2358b45cb/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Protected Pension Input• Value of ‘regular pension savings’ receives full tax relief even if
exceeding £20,000 special annual allowance
• Regular pension savings defined as benefits accruing or contributions payable no less frequently than quarterly
• Where regular pension savings are less than £20,000, additional contributions can be made to £20,000 limit with full tax relief
![Page 57: ACCA Harrow Investment Planning](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042607/558cbc9ed8b42ad2358b45cb/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Opportunities
• 300,000 individuals over £150k
• 800,000 individuals over £100k
• 2009/10 £20k higher rate relief
2010/11 £20k higher rate relief
2011/12→ basic rate relief
• Make a gift to charity

Tax Relief Restrictions on Pension Contributions• From 2011/12 tax relief restricted on pension contributions for
individuals with taxable income in excess of £150,000
• Relief to be tapered from 50% to 20% for those with taxable income of £180,000 or more
• Basis of tapering awaiting Treasury consultation
• Transitional legislation proposed to restrict tax relief for those with taxable income of £150,000 plus for current and next tax year
• Clients affected where taxable income is £150,000 or more in current or previous two tax years
![Page 59: ACCA Harrow Investment Planning](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042607/558cbc9ed8b42ad2358b45cb/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Points for Action
• Is client caught by relevant income cap ?
• If so, for which tax years ?
• Gift aid and £20,000 personal contribution to registered pension scheme can be used for this tax year to reduce income below threshold
• Significant difference in potential tax relief available if income cap does not apply
![Page 60: ACCA Harrow Investment Planning](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042607/558cbc9ed8b42ad2358b45cb/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Points for Action
• Maximise the full income tax relief available for this and next tax year on pension contribution limit available
• Work with professional connections essential in run up to end of tax year in determining relevant income position for clients who might be caught
![Page 61: ACCA Harrow Investment Planning](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022042607/558cbc9ed8b42ad2358b45cb/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
