With the general upturn in stock markets, fund managers are bracing themselves for the annual ISA rush. A number of fund managers have joined forces to set up collection points around the country in places such as Belfast, Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow and Edinburgh.
Most ISA providers have set midnight deadlines for applications by hand, post or fax but others, such as Legal & General, M&G, Fidelity, Jupiter and New Star will also allow online applications.
