Stock and Shares ISA maxed out - options?

Posts: 70 Forumite


So i am about to have maxed out my ISA for the year (with Vanguard, solely in FTSE Global All Cap Index).
What options do i have available to invest elsewhere that are relatively tax efficient?
I probably have 500-1000 per month to to invest - I do have a GIA with Freetrade, but was unsure on the actual tax implications of investing in this? I would only look to invest in an ETF maybe small caps or EM (or whichever isn't covered as much in the Global All Cap). My understanding, is that the tax on £5k invested in this way wouldn't be that large surely?
The other option would be just to save this as cash (Marcus account, 0.4% interest), then next April, put it straight into my new ISA allowance? I understand the inflation bit, but the cash erosion should not be too large if i just saved the cash from July 21 to April 22?

Don't forget VCT's. 30% tax rebate from HMRC paid when you do your tax return for the financial year of your investment (you need to stay invested for 5 years minimum, or pay it back) and all CG and divis are tax free
If this is a path you choose to pursue, Amati AIM VCT are one of the most popular. They are apparently going to be offering a new subscription in the summer. Their last, in March this year was so popular it was over subscribed and closed on the opening day so you really need to be on the ball to catch it. In fact it was so over subscribed I only received about 40% of what I requested and was refunded the remaining 60%.
