ISA Investor advice

Hi moneysavers,

I currently have an ISA Investor with HBOS. As their online access is about to be closed for a year, and because I'm not convinced I'm making much money, I'm looking at my options to transfer it somewhere else.

(here's what I have - bankofscotlandhalifax.co.uk/investments/products/previous/isa-investor/ )

I wonder if anyone might be able to offer any suggestions, or recomend and good investment ISA's?

I'd like to be able to pay in a monthly amount by direct debit, as well as the odd lump sum now and again. Ideally I'd like to be able to deal with it online too, rather than by phone or letter.

Any advice or suggestions would be great.
Cheers

    ISA Investor is a generic name for their stocks and shares ISA range.

    What type of fund is the money invested in?

    Are those funds run by HBOS or investment houses etc.?

    Because you may be able to transfer them into another S&S ISA if they're from other companies, but it seems unlikely if they're HBOS-specific.

    I'm sure to tell you the truth. This is part of the problem, I'm short of info from them. I think they are HBOS ones but not certain. I'm going to have to call the bank and check.

    Assuming I can move it, can I have suggestions as to where to move it too please?

    If you contact Hargreaves Lansdown they should be able to advise if they can transfer the ISA for free and you can then choose any funds to use in it.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
  • I thought that the banks' own funds are usually poor performers? Where can you find a list of the top funds?
