Investment Accounts

What is an Investment Account?

An Investment Account lets you invest in managed funds, UK stocks and shares, deposits, gilts, and exchange traded funds (ETFs), so you can create an investment portfolio that’s right for you.

There is no annual subscription limit, so if you have already used your full ISA allowance, our investment accounts give you another way to invest.

If you have multiple investment goals you can open as many investment accounts as you need.
