Is now the time to look at an S&S ISA?

Mr_Curious

Afternoon all,

As the title suggests, is not the time to look at a stocks and shares ISA? The rates for a cash ISA seem to be very poor!

Any input of the pros and cons will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Who knows.

Yes ISA cash rates are poor.

If you transfer an existing cash ISA to a S&S ISA you can't transfer it back to cash later.

Returns can be better but the investment is more risky, how risky is up to you. You may lose money and they should be considered as medium /long term investments.

Worth a read.
