Which Investment ISA providers do we work with?

We compare a wide range of Investment ISA providers in the UK, including:

What is an investment ISA? 

An investment ISA allows you to invest in multiple funds in one financial product, potentially giving you a much higher return than a typical cash ISA or savings account. 

A key benefit is that you can use your ISA allowance of up to £20,000 per tax year, and any savings are tax-free. The only risk is that your return is based on market volatility, which could maximise but also decrease your final return. You will usually be given regular reports from your provider so that you can track your performance.

In terms of what you can use your ISA allowance for, you may use it for any of these types of investments:

  • Unit trusts
  • Investment trusts
  • Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs)
  • OEICs
  • Offshore funds that have invested in non-UK equities, bonds or other kinds of assets

Should I get a stocks and shares ISA?

Many people decide to get a stocks and shares ISA as you have the potential to earn more than you would with a cash ISA. However, this comes at a risk: due to the volatility of the stock market, you may end up losing some or even all the money you invested in the ISA.

Can I have more than one investment ISA?

Yes, but keep in mind that it will only be possible for you to pay into one single investment ISA per tax year. However, it is possible to open and pay into a new investment ISA in each future tax year.

Is there a limit to how many investment ISAs I can have?

No, but as mentioned, you can only pay into one single investment ISA each tax year.

 

Will my money be protected in an investment ISA?

Yes if the investment is registered under the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).

If my investment is registered with the FSCS, is there a limit to how much money is protected?

Yes, the maximum investment amount that will be protected under FSCS is £50,000 by company that you have invested in, noting that you could be investment in 5, 10 or 20 companies in just one fund.

How do I track my investment ISAs performance?

The majority of investment ISA providers will allow you to track your investment ISA online, or through a financial advisor.

Am I guaranteed a good return on my investment ISA?

No. This is because of the volatility of the stock market, which means you may end up losing money in the ISA. However, you could end up making a higher return if the market performs well.

 

Is it possible to transfer a cash ISA into an investment ISA?

Yes, you can transfer one ISA to another, but only if the company accepts ISA transfers, as not all accept these. There could be charges involved for transferring.

 

Can I also invest in a cash ISA?

Yes, you also have the option of doing this. You can save into a cash ISA, a stocks and shares ISA and an innovative finance ISA per tax year. However, you should remember that you can only save up to £20,000 between all these ISA products.
