How to get started investing with us

Investing doesn't have to be complicated. It can be as easy as 1, 2, 3.

Open an account or transfer investments to us

Step 1

You have 4 accounts to choose from – a Stocks and Shares ISA, a Personal Pension, a Junior ISA and a General Account.

Each account comes with different investment limits and different tax advantages, so it’s worth spending a little time comparing them to work out which is right for you.

Already investing elsewhere? You can transfer your investments to us from another provider.

Choose your funds

Step 2

Think about your investment goals, your attitude to risk and how hands-on you want to be with your account.

You can choose your own funds for all our products. If you have a Stocks and Shares ISA or Personal Pension (SIPP) we can choose them for you. Just answer a few questions about how you feel about risk and we'll match you with funds that fit.

Decide how much to invest

Step 3

You can invest from £100 per month, or get started with a £500 lump sum.

Please remember the value of investments can go down as well as up, so you might get back less than you invest.
