Why it could be right for you
Benefits of a Stocks & Shares ISA
Generous annual allowance
You can put £20,000 in an ISA in the current tax year as a lump sum or regular payments.
Tax-efficient
You won’t pay capital gains tax on any profits and there’s no tax on dividends from shares or the income earned on bonds.
Access your money any time
With a flexible ISA, you can add and withdraw your money through the year, providing you don’t go over your annual allowance.
Make your savings work harder
With savings rates so low you could see your money eroded by inflation. A Stocks & Shares ISA will give your money the chance to grow faster than inflation.
Stocks & Shares ISA is ideal for
Giving you flexibility
A flexible Stocks & Shares ISA allows you to take money out of your ISA and place the money back again within the same tax year, giving you access to your money without affecting your annual ISA limit.
Consolidating your ISAs
You can easily transfer and consolidate existing Cash or Stocks & Shares ISAs held with other providers into our Stocks & Shares ISA, or vice versa to suit your changing needs.
Reaching your financial goals
If you’ve got financial goals that are some way off, like retirement or a children’s education, investing for the long-term gives your money the chance to work harder and get better returns.
What is a Stocks & Shares ISA?
A Stocks & Shares ISA (Individual Savings Account) is a tax-efficient investment account that allows you to place your money into a range of different investments.
These can include shares, investment funds, investment trusts, as well as government and corporate bonds. A Stocks & Shares ISA is a great way to invest while sheltering your assets from tax, they offer the possibility of a higher return than Cash ISAs and you have control over what you invest in and when.
