More about investment ISAs
ISAs are Independent Savings Accounts. You can save up to £5,760 per year - the current maximum limit - into one cash ISA and one investment ISA per year without paying any tax on the interest you earn.
The cash ISA works like a normal savings account. The investment ISA, however, sees your money invested into the stock market, with the return based on the performance of the shares that your bank has put your money up against. Hence, these are known as stocks and shares ISAs in some areas of the market.
Available from most high street banks and building societies as well as specialists, investment ISAs carry the same risk as any other investment in the stock market - your money is liable to go down as well as up.
You can usually choose differing levels of risk that your money is subject to, with the bank spending your money on a portfolio of different stocks and shares accordingly. With most banks you can also decide yourself which stocks and shares to invest in - though this is only recommended for seasoned investors.
Investment plans usually work for a set period of time - for instance one, three, or five years.
As with the cash ISA, you can have multiple different investment ISAs open, from multiple different banks if you so choose, but you can only pay into one, up to the maximum amount, in any one tax year (April 6th to April 5th).
