Stocks and shares isa. The right time

Hi all. I'm just coming to the end of a 1 year fixed isa with 40k in it. Before the crash I was considering putting it in a managed stocks and shares isa. Is now the right time or hang fire

    If you were thinking of buying into the market before the crash, then you can rest assured you will be getting a better deal now. You might not get the best possible deal, but if you are concerned about that why not drip feed your money into the S&S ISA over the coming months.

    Now is better than a week or month ago.  It may or may not be better next week or the month after.   However, as investments should really be in there for 10-15 years as a minimum, it really wont make much difference if you put it in now or next month.

  • I am thinking of doing exactly the same, can anyone advise on a S&S ISA with the best low fees for a one off lump sum deposit.

    For up to £20k paid in as a lump sum and invested in a single fund, then you could consider Jarvis (x-o.co.uk, holding an ETF) or iWeb (open ended fund or ETF). Vanguard Investor is also quite cheap at that level if you want to hold Vanguard funds.

    You havent mentioned what assets you intend to invest in.  The answer will differ depending on what type of assets you intend to use.
