Comparing Flexible Stocks & Shares ISAs

Choosing the right Flexible Stocks and Shares ISA for you doesn't have to be complicated. We've outlined the key considerations below to help you decide.

Our Flexible Stocks and Shares ISA gives you full control over your money — withdraw and redeposit within the same tax year without losing your annual allowance. Plus, we build and manage diversified portfolios for a low annual fee so you don't have to.

Get started with a minimum deposit of £1,000, then top up with monthly or one-off deposits to suit your budget.

With investing, your capital is at risk. Tax on investments depends on your individual circumstances and can change. ISA rules apply.

See Our Past Performance

Ethical

Of course, we experienced the ups and downs of the market along the way and you could get back less than you put in. Although we cannot rely on past performance to predict future results investing for the long-term (5 years or more) typically delivers positive returns. These figures are after all fees have been taken (based on 0.60% p.a Wealthify management charge), and are based on the performance of Plans worth more than £100 and will be different for Plans below that amount.
