The first comparative tables produced by the UK's Financial Services Authority (FSA) provide a snapshot of unit trust ISAs (Individual Savings Accounts) currently available to UK retail investors.

The tables are expected to help fund managers' retail clients become better informed and encourage them to save more. They exclude details of past performance but otherwise provide consumers with accessible and independent information to help them shop around and make better-informed decisions. According to the FSA, this is the first time a financial regulator has brought such information together. The FSA plans to issue further tables comparing investment trusts, pensions and other financial products.
