This information is not a personal recommendation for any particular investment. If you are unsure about the suitability of an investment you should speak to one of Fidelity’s advisers or an authorised financial adviser of your choice.

ISA FAQs

A stocks and shares ISA (or investment ISA) is an account that allows you to invest in a wide range of investments such as individual shares, exchange-traded funds, bonds and investment trusts. You can invest up to the current ISA annual allowance with the benefit of not needing to pay tax on your investment gains. Please note we do not sell individual bonds.

The 2025/26 ISA allowance is £20,000 and you have until 5 April 2026 to use it. Unfortunately, if you do not use all your ISA allowance in one year, you’re not able to carry this allowance over to the next year. That’s why it’s important to make the most of each year’s tax allowance where possible. Please note the annual ISA allowance may change in the future. The government decides what the allowance will be.

Find out more about the ISA allowance

You can start a regular savings plan from as little as £25 or make a lump sum payment with a minimum of £1,000. Once your account is open, you can put in as little or as much as you’d like, as long as it doesn’t exceed the £20,000 yearly ISA allowance limit.

The tax benefits of the ISA continue during the administration of your estate or the third anniversary of your date of death if sooner. Once probate is granted, your personal representative can distribute your investments to the beneficiary or beneficiaries. If eligible, your spouse (or civil partner) would be entitled to an additional allowance based on the value of your ISA. This is known as an Additional Permitted Subscription (APS).

What happens when an account holder has passed away.

No, if you are unsure where to invest, your money will be held as cash in your account until you are ready. If you are unsure where to invest, speak to one of Fidelity's advisers or an authorised financial adviser of your choice.

The income generated by investments in a stocks and shares ISA can either be paid out directly to you, reinvested back into the investment it has come from or held as cash in your account. However, there are some investment types that will only have the option to reinvest so it is important to understand what your preference is before choosing investments.

You can hold as many stocks and shares ISAs as you like across different providers.
