ISA’s at M&G

M&G offers two types of ISA: the mini ISA and the maxi ISA. Up to £3,000 cash can be invested in a min ISA, or £4,000 in stocks and shares. A combination of cash and stocks and shares - or just stocks and shares - can be invested in a maxi ISA, up to the value of £7,000. However, only £3,000 of that £7,000 can be invested in cash.

There are seven funds to choose from should a saver decide to invest in stocks and shares, and these are divided into three categories: funds to be invested in for income; funds which promise growth; and funds for investors looking to diversify. No initial charge is payable on any M&G ISA account if a lump sum is invested, while no exit fees are payable if the money is invested for five years or more. …continue reading the story

People over 18 can invest up to £7,000 annually (those between 16 and 18 see a limit of £3,000), with this limit set until 2009 amid plenty of clamour for it to be increased. Once you have invested the full amount you cannot put any more in that year, even if you withdraw a certain amount before the 12 months is out. …continue reading the story
