Stocks n Shares ISA


So this might sound stupid but if your max this years allowance then transfer to a new isa account after April 6th , you will still have the 20k and the possibility of another 20k until April 2027, so interest on 40k?
Yeah. Ive got 20 ready to split between a cash isa and stocks and shares funds isa's come April 6th.

I'll put 11 in a cash isa as its money i have that my dad left me and I don't want to risk that, them I'll put 3000 into each of my 3 s&s funds.

Yes and you can keep on doing it year after year. There are people with hundreds of thousands (and some over a million) in tax free savings and investments.

Although it's going down to 12k a year fron 2027
Markets haven't been as bad as I feared this morning, Europe clawed back roughly 1.5% and America trading up as we speak.

So you could put 12k into a cash and 8k into a s&s?

That's the plan though they are going to stop you holding cash or "cash like" investments in an S&S ISA though how that will work in practice is still out for consultation with the industry as it is perfectly normal to have some cash in an S&S ISA as a result of univested deposits or dividend payments.

Provided you transfer between isas if you withdraw to your bank then into another isa you use your allowance..
Annoying thing is thst those offering a 12 month bonus rate only pay it on (new cash) deposits not transfers
 
Folks - bit of advice pse from you wise old SMB investors

Friend of mine (obvs) has £30k in a bog standard savings account paying 4.25% AER interest compounded monthly! He’s not a massive risk taker, the interest gets him £100 a month! Is he best of leaving it there? Or, is there anything out there better with little to no risk, i’ll pass your knowledge onto him!

It depends what you need the £££ for.
Can you afford to lose all/some of it?
What rate of return are you expecting?

If I was him I'd put 10-15k in Premium bonds or leave in savings. That covers him off for to be able to pay off any unexpected bills without losing any value and then put half in S&S where historical performance suggests that they will see a much better return assuming they ride the market and don't take it out after a market dip/ crash. Also if they're nervous don't check on the balance too regularly when the market is wobbly.

4.25 is decent for cash isa. If hes risk adverse you can't force him to move it. Also depends on age. If hes oldish & doesn't have decades left then cash may be better. If young, then should do better in s&s if funds are for long term. All you can do is try to convince him by presenting the facts. However, should a crash happen youll get the blame

If he's earning £1,200 in interest pa he'll be paying 20% tax on £200 of that. I know that's not what you asked, I'm just poiting out anything over £1,000 in interest may be taxable.
