Taking profits from a stocks and shares ISA

Are there any reasons not to invest in this?
I'm almost 41, and whilst I'm late to the game, I have become interested in investing in stocks. Specifically, I narrowed it down to: * Platform: Trading 212 (Stocks & Shares ISA) * Fund: VUAG (Vanguard S&P 500 UCITS ETF – Accumulating). * Reason: Very low FX fee (0.15% per trade), no monthly account fee on the ISA. I'm…

Partial transfer of flexibly withdrawn Skipton ISA
I know there have been a few discussions around this kind of topic, particularly with Yorkshire BS who calculated the allowances wrongly, but I wondered if anyone had experience of this with Skipton? I don't dare ring up and ask because I don't trust that the response I get will be accurate. So if I have, say, £25k of…

My most recent experiences. First the bad and the ugly: * Monument to Santander. The request had to be made on paper, which I handed in to a friendly Santander employee in Branch. 6 weeks later, there had been nil progress as the form apparently "didn't reach the right department" (in Santander). This means I missed out on…

Looking to open a Lifetime ISA
Just had a reel pop up on Instagram of Martin Lewis saying I should open a lifetime ISA and I am 40 in a couple of months so it's now or never. However I am finding it so confusing!
