What is a stocks and shares ISA?
An ISA, or Individual Savings Account, is a tax-efficient way of investing your money.
You can save into a cash ISA, or invest into a stocks and shares ISA, and any interest or returns are tax-free.
When you invest with us, we buy and sell assets on your behalf. Our portfolios invest in exchange-traded funds (or ‘ETFs’) across a wide variety of asset classes, regions, and market sectors.
You can choose from five investment styles and up to ten risk levels, and our team of investment experts will do the rest.
Over the long-term, stocks and shares ISAs have the potential to make your money work harder for you than a cash ISA, but they do carry risk, and the value of your investments can go up and down.
Capital at risk. Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may be subject to change in the future.
How much can I invest in an ISA?
You can contribute up to £20,000 each tax year, and any growth, returns, or interest you earn are tax-free.
This £20,000 is known as your ‘annual allowance’. It is per-person, not per-ISA. So, if you have two, you cannot pay £20,000 into both. You must split your allowance across all your ISAs within a tax year. The Junior ISA allowance is separate to the annual allowance. You can find more about the annual allowance rules here.
The tax year runs from the 6th of April to the 5th April each year. When the new tax year starts, your ISA allowance resets. It does not rollover.
Tax rules for ISAs can change and their benefits depend on your circumstances.

Track record

The past performance shown represents a composite of asset-weighted average returns for Nutmeg client portfolios, net of all fees. A composite return represents the average return of all client accounts for a given risk level on a given day, weighted by assets. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
*The annualised figure is the return since inception expressed as a compound annual rate. For example, a portfolio with an annualised return of 6% corresponds to an actual return of 19.1% over three years (rather than 18% as you might expect) due to the effect of compounding.

Can I have more than one stocks and shares ISA?
Can I have more than one stocks and shares ISA?
Yes, as of the 2024/25 tax year, investors can open and contribute to multiple stocks and shares ISAs within the same tax year.
You can decide how to use your annual ISA allowance across the different ISA types you’re eligible for. However, it's worth remembering that if you choose to contribute to multiple ISAs in a tax year, you'll need to make sure you don't exceed your £20,000 annual allowance. Also, some providers may choose not to adopt this new rule, so it's best to check with individual providers before making contributions to more than one stocks and shares ISA in the same tax year.
Can I open a stocks and shares ISA in addition to my existing cash ISA?
