All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you’re not sure which investments are right for you, please seek out a financial adviser. Capital at risk.

The Pros and Cons of saving with OneFamily
Pros
- Long-term savings. If you’re looking to stash your money away for a home or retirement, OneFamily’s savings products might be ideal for your savings goals.
- Better returns? OneFamily’s savings products are tied to stocks and shares, which will usually give better returns in the long term compared to your average savings accounts.
Cons
- No cash accounts. Onefamily currently doesn’t offer cash ISAs or bonds, which are generally safer and protected by the FCSC.
- High risk? While investing in stocks and shares can have a better payoff in then long run, it’s riskier because what you put in isn’t protected from rises and falls in the stock market. This means you can get back less than the amount you originally invested.
The verdict: Is saving with OneFamily worth it?
OneFamily offers a range of long-term savings products that may be of interest to those wanting to help their loved ones young and old be better prepared for the future.
As a friendly society, OneFamily can provide certain types of savings and investment products that you won’t find with traditional banks or financial services companies. But it’s worth doing your research into whether these products are right for you family’s circumstances, as early withdrawal from some OneFamily savings plans will have tax impacts.
