The terms state you need to keep the money there for a full year: https://freetrade.io/legal/2026-tax-year-end-offer

Yes, I'm not sure where I got that last bit from as it's clearly wrong 😂

But you could transfer that 20k from Freetrade (once bonus paid) back to the cash ISA within the same tax year?

Only if you wish to forfeit the bonus. 365 days after the end of the validity period takes us into the next tax year.

It looks like the range of investments available at Freetrade leaves a lot to be desired, unless their big spreadsheet is out of date. Can anyone confirm if CMFP is now available? I see AVSG is also missing, but that's only been around for just over a year, while CMFP launched in 2010!

I was also appreciating the ability to trade gilts on the platform, but it appears they only support flat gilts, not index linked.

Is this the Legal & General Longer Dated All Commodities? Nothing in the search turns up for me with CMFP or the name.

That's the one, thanks for checking.

I’ve opened an IG account and funded it with £200 for their offer of doubling the deposit. I was going to purchase my shares / EFT etc but everything I look at it says the market isn’t open for trading. Is it just Monday to Friday I can purchase shares ? Or is there certain times the markets are open ?

Monday to Friday. Equities markets in London and the rest of Europe are open between 08.00 and 16.30. US markets 14.30 to 21.00, though they also have extended trading 12.00 to 23.00. All times GMT.
