Make your money work harder with a Saxo stocks and shares ISA

Take advantage of your 2023/2024 tax-free allowance.

Unlike cash, the value of investment can fall as well as rise, so you could get back less than you invest. Tax rules can change and the value of any benefits depend on your personal circumstances.

    • UK government gilts and similar securities issued by other governments in the EEA

Essentially, these funds must have 'UK reporting status' in order to be eligible. (Any funds that are domiciled outside of the UK and do not carry the 'UK reporting status' stamp are ineligible.) 
    • Units or shares in non-UCITS retail schemes that are considered by the FCA to be "UK-friendly"

    An ISA is a HMRC-approved tax wrapper. As such, it is only possible to open and fund ISAs in pound sterling.
    There are four kinds of ISA: cash, stocks & shares, lifetime, and innovative finance. Over the course of the tax year, you can open one of each and split your allowance among them.

    For example, you could invest £10,000 into your Saxo stocks and shares ISA, £5,000 into a cash ISA and £5,000 into an innovative finance ISA. Crucially, you cannot invest into two ISAs of the same category, such as two stocks and shares ISAs held with different providers.

    Yes, we are now able to accept transfers of existing ISA portfolios of any value/balance. Please complete and return our transfer form via email to isasupport@saxobank.com: Download here.

    Please note that we do not accept ISA transfer requests via post.
