Best place for S&S ISA but with small amounts

Thanks guys, is there any decent literature available helping one to decide if its is better to go towards Investment trusts or funds such as Unit trusts?

believe there are some pdfs on H-L over all sorts of investment types and areas.

Thanks I'll have a looksy, but those links are from Hl which will have a vested interest in the information they supply. I was hoping for a more independent site.

yep true, so do take them with a pinch of salt. but the basics of how the funds work and so forth are always helpful!

Try these:

Have used them for many years. Can do it online. They are independant and don't provide advice. They also discount the initial charge (usually, check their tables) which can save up to 5%. THey use Cofunds which means you can choose different Fund managers rather than sticking to one.
