Stocks and shares ISA - can be used a 'wrapper' for choice of own shares?

Hi everyone

There are certain shares I want to buy. Someone told me you're able to buy any shares you want and put them in a stocks and shares ISA. Is that right? I can't find any information about it.

Many thanks

Yes of course you can.

What do you think S&S ISAs were used for??

You just need to find a stockbroker e.g. iii

Just to avoid confusion [if any]

You have to have the SS ISA first, then buy the shares from your money held within it, not buy shares and then put them in it. You can do this, but you would have to sell & rebuy in the ISA, incurring charges along the way
