About This Data

The Investors Centre is a UK investment comparison platform based in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. Our statistics pages are produced by the same team that tests investment platforms with real money — Adam Woodhead, Thomas Drury ACII, and Dom Farnell.

Every statistic is sourced from official UK government or regulatory datasets with the source named inline. Where we publish proprietary calculations — such as the TIC ISA Millionaire Projection or the TIC Cities Savings Index — the methodology is fully documented on the relevant page.
