Hi I'm aware that the new isa allowance is 20k per person.

Can that 20k be invested with various Investment trusts with different
companies or as the old rules with just one.

I can't find an answer for this even on the Gov site.?

Thanks Jim.

    Can that 20k be invested with various Investment trusts Yes
    with different companies No
    or as the old rules with just one. Just the one I'm afraid

    Each tax year you can put money into one of each kind of ISA. The tax year runs from 6 April to 5 April.

    Thanks for your replies.

    Could I still open a new ISA
    But top up an existing ISA with a different provider.
    Thanks Jim.

    No. You can only pay new money into one S&S ISA per year. It's exactly the same rules that have been in place for many years.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
