Stocks & Shares ISAs

The Vantage Stocks & Shares ISA allows you to choose your own investments from all the leading fund managers. You can also invest in shares, investment trusts, corporate bonds, gilts or ETFs. Alternatively, simply open your ISA, hold cash and decide where to invest later.

Please note, all investments can fall in value as well as rise and you could get back less than you invest.

Market beating savings, low cost and great service

  • Wide investment choice
    Choose to invest in over 2,500 funds, thousands of UK, US and European shares, exchange traded funds (ETFs), corporate bonds, gilts and much more. Where can I invest in my Vantage Stocks & Shares ISA?
  • Market beating savings
    No dealing charges for funds and receive initial savings of up to 5.5% when you invest, saving you as much as £633 on a £11,520 ISA investment. Or buy and sell shares from £5.95 and never pay more than £11.95 per deal online. Check fund savings.
  • Low cost & easy to manage
    Manage your ISA online with our award winning website, by phone or by post or with our new smartphone app. There are no extra charges to hold the majority of funds, plus you could receive loyalty bonuses of up to 0.5% every year after you invest. The annual charge to hold shares and other investments is just 0.5% (capped at a maximum of £45 per annum).
  • Save tax
    Within an ISA you pay no capital gains tax and no further tax on the income. You don't even need to declare ISAs on your tax return and less tax means higher returns for you. Please remember the value of tax savings depends on your circumstances and tax rules can change over time.
  • Invest from £500 or just £50 per month
    Open this year's ISA with a lump sum from £500 to £11,520, or start a regular savings plan from just £50 per month. Find out more about regular savings.
