I have some ISA allowance left

I opened a fixed rate 16month ISA last April at 2.65% interest I still have some of my £20000 allowance but I cannot put it into this account .   
There are better interest rates available now so is it wise to transfer it now adding the rest of my allowance 
I believe I will loose 105 days interest if I do this.

    If you are in month 11 of a 16 month fix, it may not make sense. It also depends on how much of your £20k allowance remains to be used.
    You would be able to use the remainder of your allowance in a S&S ISA. You would not necessarily need to invest it and could transfer out in the next tax year. Look out for exit fees if doing this.
