Aviva stocks & shares ISA
A tax-efficient way of investing for tomorrow
- Save up to £20,000 a year with a range of ways to invest your money
- Get going with regular payments from £25 a month or a single payment of £500
- Pay no UK income tax or capital gains tax on your returns. Capital at risk. Tax rules are subject to change.
What is a stocks and shares ISA?
An Individual Savings Account (ISA) is one way to invest tax-efficiently. That means there's no UK Income Tax or Capital Gains to chip away at money you make.
This type of ISA has the potential to grow your investment by more than a cash ISA or savings accounts. Investing works best over the long term, and staying invested for five years or more can increase your chance of positive returns.
Just bear in mind that the value of a Stocks & Shares ISA can fall as well as rise, and you could get back less than you put in.
Your exact tax benefits will depend on your circumstances and may change in the future.

What are the investment charges?
We won’t charge you for opening an Aviva Stocks & Shares ISA and there’s no charge to transfer your investments to us.

You'll pay an Aviva Charge of up to 0.40% for the value of your funds or cash, depending on how much you invest.
There's also a Fund Manager Charge that will depend on the funds that you've chosen. This charge is included in the price of the fund.
We won't charge you for buying or selling funds.
Shares and other exchange traded investments
You'll pay an Aviva Share Charge, which is 0.40% of their value, capped at £45 a year.
There'll be a Fund Manager Charge for exchange traded funds and investment trusts that will be included in the price of the investment.
When you buy shares and other exchange traded investments, there'll be a Trading Charge for every trade you make.
There may be other charges you’ll need to be aware of – you can read more about these on our charges page.
