Cash ISA previous years reinvesting

Options
Need some advice please!
I have cash ISA from previous 4 years and recently realised the potential of Share ISA. But, don't have enough to invest more this year. Wondered if I would be able to reinvest my previous cash ISA into Stocks and share ISA (last few years allowance or this year's allowance).

Also, I found some good yield funds in S&P rating website. But, it seems like it's not available on our high street banks. Any ideas where I can buy them under ISA.

Thank you

    No. Once in a cash ISA you can't move it across to a Stocks and Shares ISA.

    You can't *transfer* money from a cash to a stocks and shares ISA but there's nothing to stop you taking the cash out and opening a new mini S&S ISA.

    Banks are tied for advice and products so you only get their expensive and poor performing range. You need an IFA to get access to the whole of market product range. Some IFAs have set up websites for you to do it yourself on execution only basis (a few are mentioned here regulary and in martin's articles).
