Important information - this isn’t personal advice. If you're not sure whether an investment is right for you, please ask for investment advice. Investments and income can fall as well as rise in value, so you could get back less than you put in. Wherever you choose to invest, you’ll need to review your investments and make sure they continue to match your objectives and financial goals. Tax rules can change and benefits will depend on your circumstances.

But they’re not personal advice. Investing in these funds isn’t right for everyone. Investors should only invest if the fund’s objectives are aligned with their own, and there’s a specific need for the type of investment being made. Investors should understand the specific risks of a fund before they invest, and make sure any new investment forms part of a diversified portfolio.

Before you start

There are a few things to check before investing in an ISA.

You should only consider making an investment if:

  • You’re willing and able to accept a level of risk and won’t need the money for at least 5 years. With investing, there’s no guarantee of making money and you could get back less than you invest.
  • You’ve saved a supply of cash that you can access easily for emergencies – a good rule of thumb is to have around 6 months of expenditure.
  • You want the chance to grow your money more than you could with cash.

You can also read around the subject. We've covered what we think you need to know, from investing essentials, to understanding how to build your own portfolio.
