Savings Certificates

National Savings and Investments, or NS&I, is a savings and investment service backed by Her Majesty's Treasury. They offer a range of investment options, including savings certificates. These investment certificates come in two varieties: fixed interest and index-linked. They are fully guaranteed by the Treasury and are tax-free. They are offered for fixed-investment terms of two, three or five years and allow a minimum of one hundred pounds and a maximum of fifteen thousand pounds to be invested. They differ in their security and their potential for capital growth.

Savings Certificates are explained in detail in Tax-Free Savings: see Savings Certificates (NS&I).
