What is a stocks and shares ISA?
A Stocks and Shares ISA is a savings account that allows you to take control of how your money is invested. We keep it simple with two investment options, one that invests fully in company shares and one that splits your money between company shares and other lower risk fixed interest investments. You then watch your money grow based on how your investments perform.
How much can I invest in a Stocks and Shares ISA?
For the current tax year, you can invest up to £20,000. You won't pay tax on any growth your investment makes, although this does depend on your circumstances. Tax rules can change over time.
How long should I invest in a Stocks and Shares ISA?
It’s entirely up to you. You can withdraw your money whenever you want but you could get back less than you’ve paid in. We recommend you aim to invest for at least five years to give you less chance of being affected by short term changes in the value of your investment.
What are the risks?
Our ISA invests in stocks and shares which means you could see more growth than cash over the long term – as with all investing, this approach does come with risk and you could lose money as well.

What are climate-friendly funds?
If you choose to invest in our Global Equity Fund, up to 100% of your money will be invested in climate-friendly options. With our Global Mixed Fund, up to 35% is used to buy shares in climate-friendly options, while the rest is invested in lower-risk, fixed-interest assets.
When investing your money in climate-friendly options, our fund managers use a clever scoring system to rank companies by climate-friendly criteria.
More money is invested in companies that have:
A higher revenue percentage from “green” business activities, such as renewable energy production.
Lower greenhouse gas emissions in the event the company used all of its fossil fuel reserves.
A clear strategy and action plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
A lower proportion of income from non-climate friendly activities such as drilling and mining.
Lower carbon emissions, including within their supply chain.
We also exclude the companies that score the lowest within each industry – meaning we don’t invest in them at all. Companies that are involved in things like building controversial weapons are also taken off the list.
This results in a portfolio of companies working towards causing less environmental damage compared to the companies non-climate-friendly funds are likely to invest in.
