HL Stocks & Shares ISA

Save up to £561 upfront when you set up an ISA with Hargreaves Lansdown, you could earn loyalty bonuses every year too

Save tax, save time and save money with the Hargreaves Lansdown Vantage ISA. We believe our ISA offers you the widest choice of investments and the best range of discounts of any broker in the UK.

On 6 October the annual ISA allowance for anyone aged 50 and over by 5 April 2010 rose to £10,200. All the benefits remain. Within ISAs (Individual Savings Accounts) you pay no capital gains tax and no further tax on the income. You can invest for income or growth and withdraw your tax-free savings whenever you need. The new rules simply mean that you can now shelter more of your assets from tax than ever before.

Under the new rules anyone aged 50 and over can invest up to £10,200 in a Stocks and Shares ISA or up to £5,100 in a Cash ISA with the balance (within the overall limit) in a Stocks and Shares ISA. Everyone else can still save up to £7,200 in their ISA, with up to £3,600 in a Cash ISA with the balance (within the overall limit) in a Stocks and Shares ISA.

Invest with a lump sum contribution of (£3000 minimum) or from as little as £50 per month with a monthly savings plan.

And if you can't decide, secure your ISA allowance now with cash and decide where to invest later.
