Important information - Investing for 5+ years increases your chances of positive returns compared to cash savings. But investments rise and fall in value, so you could get back less than you put in. You’re responsible for your investment decisions. Tax benefits depend on your circumstances and rules can change. This isn't personal advice - please ask us for advice if you're not sure what's right for you. Before transferring, check for any loss of benefits or excessive exit fees.

You can transfer all or part of your ISA, if your current provider allows it. Transferring doesn't count towards your annual ISA allowance.
Transfers typically take two to six weeks, but some may take longer depending on your current provider and the complexity of the transfer.
Your transfer may take longer due to:
Mismatched personal details, e.g. name, address, National Insurance number, date of birth.
Account type differences, e.g. joint accounts must transfer to joint accounts.
Missing or incorrect account/reference numbers.
Trading activity during the transfer process.
Outstanding fees on the account.
Current provider's name
Your account or reference number
Approximate value of your investments
Type of account you’re transferring
You can usually choose between transferring all the investments with your current provider, or only some of them. This will leave your existing account open. Please note that some providers may not allow partial transfers. If this is the case, we'll be in contact with you to confirm. You may wish to check if a partial transfer is possible with your current provider before starting your transfer.
If you're requesting a partial transfer, you'll need to do this over the phone by calling us on 0117 906 7816 or via a transfer form and cover letter in the post.
Yes. When transferring to HL, you'll usually have two options:
Transfer as stock: Your investments are moved to HL without being sold, so you stay invested throughout the process.
Transfer as cash: Your investments are sold, and the resulting cash is transferred to HL. You can then choose how to reinvest the money once it arrives.
