Stocks and Shares ISA

A Stocks and Shares ISA, also known as a Self-Select ISA or Investment ISA, is a tax-efficient savings account that lets you choose where and how your money is invested.

  • You can contribute up to £20,000 a year, in one ISA or several different types of ISA.
  • A Stocks and Shares ISA could give you better returns than cash savings – but this is not guaranteed.
  • If you are unsure about whether you should invest, then seek independent advice.
