    Once you have maxed out the £7200 ISA allowance for investments you typically move onto unit trusts or investment trusts (or whatever other investment type you prefer to invest in). Ideally, you can look to bed & ISA next year unless you are intending ot fill up next years allowance with new money.

    The real danger of putting it in your partners name is then it is legally theirs, so if you split up you lose it, what dunstonh has said makes a lot of sense. I would go and talk to an IFA if I were you.

    yes, sign up for a self select shares ISA

    www.selftrade.co.uk

    equities are cheap at the moment and there is a potentially big profit to be made if you take a 3 -5 year view on your investment, to balance my view, shares are also very risky and it essential you do your homework and invest in companies who have a strong balance sheets and pay healthy dividends.

    Currently Prudential are a fantastic buy
