Fund and Share Account

An easy to manage, low-cost dealing account

Important information: investing for longer increases the likelihood of positive returns. Over a period of five years or more, investments usually give you a higher return compared to cash savings. But investments can go down as well as up in value, so you could get back less than you put in.

This isn’t personal advice – please ask us for advice if you’re not sure which investments are right for you. Before transferring check for excessive exit fees or any loss of benefits.
