Please remember, the value of investments - and the income from them - can go down as well as up, meaning you may get back less than you invest. This information is based on our understanding of existing tax legislation which may change in the future.

A few things to consider before you start

If you’re opening a VitalityInvest ISA without taking financial advice, please remember that:
  • Returns on your investment aren’t guaranteed
  • A Stocks and Shares ISA usually works best as a long-term investment: at least five years
  • To open an ISA you must be at least 18 years old and a UK resident, as defined by Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (HMRC)
  • You’ll be opening and managing your ISA online
  • The value of your ISA may go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest

Your questions answered

How long does it take to set up a VitalityInvest ISA?

Once you've read and understood the risks and benefits of investing, you can apply in minutes. Then, once we receive your money, we’ll get your ISA up and running straight away.

How do I pay into a VitalityInvest ISA?

You can make regular payments by Direct Debit, or make single contributions by bank transfer. We can also accept transfers of your existing ISAs with other providers.

Which funds do I need to invest in to be eligible for the Investment Booster?

Pick any Vitality fund from the Performer or Risk Optimiser range. The more you invest in them, the bigger the boosts could be.

Do I need a VitalityHealth or VitalityLife plan to get the Investment Booster?

No, all you need to do is include Vitality funds in your VitalityInvest ISA for at least five years.

Do I need a VitalityHealth or VitalityLife plan to get the Healthy Living Discount?

Yes, you’ll need one of the following qualifying plans:

• VitalityHealth: Personal or Business Healthcare plans or Corporate Healthcare plans with Vitality Plus
• VitalityLife: Plans with Vitality Plus, excluding Vitality Core and Vitality Lite

You’ll also need to take steps to be healthier with our healthy living programme, and invest your ISA in Vitality funds.

Can I set up an ISA for my child?

Yes, you can. It’s called a Junior ISA, and you can open one as long as:

• You’re the child’s parent or legal guardian
• The child’s under 18
• The child doesn’t have a Child Trust Fund ( if they do you’ll have to transfer the Child Trust Fund into the Junior ISA when you set it up)

You can pay up to £4,260 into a Junior ISA each tax year. Once the child turns 18, their Junior ISA automatically becomes a Stocks and Shares ISA.

When can I take my money out?

You can take some or all of your money out at any time, without charge, and it won’t be taxed. Our Stocks and Shares ISA is a flexible ISA, so you can take out money then put it back later in the same tax year - without reducing your current year’s allowance.

Can I change the funds my ISA invests in?

Yes, any time you like. Just contact us, choose which funds you want to sell and which you want to buy.
