Transfer for free - ISA & PEP changes

Calculator & chart

On 6th April the ISA (Individual Savings Account) & PEP (Personal Equity Plan) rules changed. The annual ISA allowance increased to £7,200, PEPs have become Stocks and Shares ISAs and you can now also transfer Cash ISAs into Stocks and Shares ISAs.

Most importantly you can now consolidate all your ISAs - your old Maxi, Mini Stocks and Shares ISAs, PEPs, even your Cash ISAs - into one new Main Stocks & Shares ISA .

However many fund managers are simply not offering their clients this choice, now that the changes have come into force- but Hargreaves Lansdown are. Therefore, if you do want to consolidate your holdings, bring them into the Vantage Service today and, with our free transfer offer, transferring needn't cost you a penny if you act by 30th April.
