Shares ISA

Tax-efficient investing at your fingertips.

Individual Savings Accounts are meant to be just that, individual, so go for one that lets you have your ISA, your way. Not only does it mean you choose the individual investments you want, but it also means you can change your mind to reflect changing market conditions. And it's just as flexible when it comes to investing in funds.

Choose a Fund Manager's ISA and odds are you’ll only have a choice of their own funds. If you then want to switch to other funds, it's often a case of having to switch your ISA too. And that can mean cost, inconvenience and time out of the market. But with Selftrade, picking funds is as easy as picking shares. There's over 40 top fund managers to choose from, more than 1,000 funds and many great savings to be had on their initial charges too. So make sure you are as selective in choosing your ISA provider as you are in picking the investments to go in it.

Please remember: The value of investments may fall as well as rise and you may get back less than you originally invested. Limited liability instruments mean that you cannot lose more than you have invested. The risks associated with different instruments will vary: you should choose investments appropriate to your needs and consider your overall mix of different investment types.
