Individual savings accounts (ISAs) are a great way to invest without paying tax. They allow you to choose from a wide range of investments to provide long-term growth, a regular income, or both.
Investment trusts could be a good choice for your ISA if you want to invest for the long term, and you’re prepared to put up with some ups and downs in the markets in order to seek greater returns. They can also be a good choice for those who want a regular income from their ISA investments.
That’s because any growth and any income generated from investment trusts held in an ISA is completely tax-free.
To invest in an investment trust via an ISA, you can use an online platform. Make sure the platform offers investment trusts and allows you to invest within an ISA. You can view a list of platforms here.
