What is a stocks and shares ISA?
An ISA, or Individual Savings Account, is a tax-efficient way of investing your money.
You can save into a cash ISA, or invest into a stocks and shares ISA, and any interest or returns are tax-free.
When you invest with us, we buy and sell assets on your behalf. Our portfolios invest in exchange-traded funds (or ‘ETFs’) across a wide variety of asset classes, regions, and market sectors.
You can choose from five investment styles and up to ten risk levels, and our team of investment experts will do the rest.
Over the long-term, stocks and shares ISAs have the potential to make your money work harder for you than a cash ISA, but they do carry risk, and the value of your investments can go up and down.
Capital at risk. Tax treatment depends on your individual circ*mstances and may be subject to change in the future.
How much can I invest in an ISA?
You can contribute up to £20,000 each tax year, and any growth, returns, or interest you earn are tax-free.
This £20,000 is known as your ‘annual allowance’. It is per-person, not per-ISA. So, if you have two, you cannot pay £20,000 into both. You must split your allowance between them, and can only pay into both if they are two different types of ISAs. The Junior ISA allowance is separate to the annual allowance. You can find more about the annual allowance rules here.
The tax year runs from the 6th of April to the 5th April each year. When the new tax year starts, your ISA allowance resets. It does not rollover.
Tax rules for ISAs can change and their benefits depend on your circ*mstances.

Track record
Explore our full 10-year track record for each of our 10 risk-based, fully managed portfolios and see how our results compare against our competitors.
The past performance shown represents a composite of asset-weighted average returns for Nutmeg client portfolios, net of all fees. A composite return represents the average return of all client accounts for a given risk level on a given day, weighted by assets. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
*The annualised figure is the return since inception expressed as a compound annual rate. For example, a portfolio with an annualised return of 6% corresponds to an actual return of 19.1% over three years (rather than 18% as you might expect) due to the effect of compounding.
