Hi,

I've read that it's possible to find a platform that offers a Lifetime ISA inside a normal ISA wrapper.

If such exists I'd be grateful if someone could point me towards a provider.

Alternatively if they don't exist can you let me know please.

Thank you

Kind regards

AiY

    I don't think such a thing exists. The 2 types of ISA are totally different. You should be able to find a provider that offers both types of account though and would be visible in the same login
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Skipton Building Society offer both, Cash LISA only though. Moneybox offer a S&S option, so I guess they would have a S&S LISA also. Not the cheapest fee wise, unless they’ve changed.

    Define, "inside."  E.g., For adults, AJ Bell offers Lifetime and S&S Isas and no doubt you'll see them separately on your summary screen but I don't think you'd describe that as, "inside."

    Perhaps AJ Bell will keep track of current year subscriptions between the two of them, that might be helpful.

    I suppose the argument could be made that the Lifetime ISA is always inside the normal ISA wrapper, in that if you contribute £4,000 to a LISA, you can only contribute £16,000 to other types of ISA for that tax year.

    Could you perhaps share links to whatever you've read, to help clarify what you're actually referring to by 'inside' and 'normal'?
