In this podcast episode, I answer a question from Scott.

The question was: 'Have you ever covered how to invest when you’ve maxed out your 20k isa allowance?'

We go through the options, starting with a pension and a general investment account (GIA), before moving onto more niche options and some other ideas - from SEIS/EIS/VCT to crypto and gold and more.

We also cover limited companies and the 'order of investing priority', including some scenarios of what investment accounts to prioritise based on your situation.
