Features and benefits

Features and benefits

  • The tax-efficiency of an ISA makes it an excellent way for your clients to save towards their financial goals.
  • Arranging for ISA charges to come from your client’s General Investment Account is a great way to add value to your clients as it can make a difference to their potential investment growth.
  • The Stocks and Shares ISA on the Scottish Widows Platform is a flexible ISA. Your clients can deposit up to the £20,000 ISA limit (2024/25 tax year), as well as replace any withdrawals taken from the ISA in the tax year.​
  • The Platform has automated Bed & ISA functionality which allows you to sell investments held within a GIA and use the proceeds, or cash held within the GIA, to top-up an existing Individual Savings Account (ISA).

Help your clients give their children a head start by saving tax efficiently into a Junior stocks and shares ISA.

  • Available for children aged 17 or under and resident in the UK (for at the least 6 months for tax purposes).
  • A Junior ISA enables tax efficient gifting between generations and can be included in family linked pricing for cost effective investing.
  • Any returns generated within a Junior ISA are free of income or capital gains tax and don’t count towards the child’s tax allowance.
  • If a child holds a Child Trust Fund they cannot hold a Junior ISA at the same time. We cannot accept transfers of Child Trust Funds into our Junior ISA.
  • A child is only permitted to have one Stocks and Shares Junior ISA account. If a Junior ISA is opened on Scottish Widows Platform the investments held within a Stocks and Shares Junior ISA held with another provider would need to be transferred across.
  • An adult with parental responsibility acts as the Registered Contact, with the child or grandchild as the Account holder. On the child’s 18th birthday, they will take control of their Account, and the Junior ISA will become a Scottish Widows ISA.
  • Our Junior ISA offers the same wide investment choice as the other Scottish Widows Platform Accounts, including discretionary portfolios.
