Any simple way of 'forgetting Isa' Investments.

Rather enjoying h.l. Pre managed Isa funds, very early days.
I find I'm checking stock movement, almost on a daily basis.
What do others do to forget about their chosen funds, maybe checking once or twice per year.
p.s. Think 3rd fund could be chosen before winter '20.

    It depends on your chosen funds. The simpler your portfolio, the less often you'd need to check.
    I tend to check monthly, but that's because I'm investing using a platform that charges me for trades and I get one free trading credit per month, which I use to sell some of my most overweight holding and then use the free regular investing service to rebalance into my most underweight holding(s). Though in turbulent markets I like to check more frequently and rebalance if anything moves significantly out of range. But I have about 12 holdings. Someone who has bought a simple multi-asset fund could simply review once a year whether it is still suitable for their needs.

    That isn't normally a cost effective way to invest.

    Don't.   That will likely result in behaviour mistakes when markets fall.

    If they are single sector funds then you need to keep an eye on them. if you are in a multi-asset fund then that is done for you.

    Thanks @dunstonh
    Seems not much input from myself over next few years.
    I'm almost certain, I'll be adding 3rd fund soon, sticking with pre Managed choices.
    Basically I have h.l. U.k. and Global select pre managed funds as a starter.
    Maybe I'll venture elsewhere for 3rd choice.
