If you’ve not reviewed the fund or funds in your ISA for a while, it’s a good idea to take some time to consider if they’re still right for you. 

Here are two things you can do: 

• Find out how much your investments are currently worth.
  Every year we’ll send you an annual statement, which will tell you how much your ISA is currently worth.  If you’re already registered for our online services, you can request an up to date valuation here. If you’re not registered for our online services, then you can call us for a valuation on 0345 300 2244. We’re available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.
• Look at the funds you’re invested in to see if they’re still suitable.  Your annual statement shows which funds you’re currently investing in. 

Read the Key Investor Information Documents (KIIDs) for each fund available for the Scottish Widows stocks and shares ISA here.

The KIID will give you, among other things, the fund’s objective or aim, what it’s trying to achieve, charges and the fund risk rating. 

It’s important to think about how much risk you’re willing and able to take. This can change over time. The fund’s risk rating can also change.

We'd be happy to help talk you through the different options available to you.

Call us on 0345 300 2244.  We’re available Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm.

We’ll explain what you need to do and can help check that you haven’t already used all your ISA annual allowance.

When you call us, make sure:

• you have your ISA account number and bank details to hand.
• you’ve read the Key Investor Information Documents  for your chosen funds.

For more information you may want to read the Supplementary Investor Information Documents (SIIDs), which summarises important information about our ISAs. 

You may have stocks and shares ISAs with other companies. You could bring these all together into your ISA with us. 

This may be beneficial for you, but you need to be careful that you don’t lose any guarantees. You should also compare our choice of funds and charges with those of the company you are considering moving from.

If you’d like to transfer your ISA to another company, call them and they’ll contact us to arrange the transfer for you. 

By transferring, not cashing in your ISA, you keep the tax benefits and won’t have to pay tax on the money you make from your investments.

When you die, the value of your ISA investments may form part of your estate for inheritance tax purposes. The money will remain invested until we receive instructions from your legal representatives.

Tax can be complicated so we recommend you seek specific tax advice. Tax rules can change. You can find out more information on tax rules on the government website.
