Investments
One account. Infinite opportunity.
Your wealth, your way - with the freedom to invest as much as you like, access powerful tools, and trade globally from one intuitive platform.
With investing, values can rise and fall, and you may get back less than you invest. There are no tax advantages with a General Investment Account, but it offers flexible access and control. Tax treatment depends on your personal situation and may change. You’re responsible for your investment choices.

Investments can go down as well as up, so you may get back less than you put in. We don’t give financial advice, so it’s important to understand the risks before you invest. If you’re unsure, speak to a qualified adviser. Pension and tax rules may change, and benefits depend on your circumstances. Past performance isn’t a guide to future returns, and some investments are best held long term.
