ISAit transfers

If you are considering transferring an ISA from another Plan Manager to Gartmore, it is important that you consider any exit charges from your existing Manager, and other costs, including those highlighted above. Bear in mind that your existing holdings will be liquidated and the cash proceeds transferred to Gartmore, as only cash can be accepted into ISAit. There will also be a period during which you will not be invested, whilst your ISA transfer remains pending. If markets were to rise during this period, there would be potential for loss of income and growth.

ISAit only

ISAs were introduced on 6 April 1999. ISAs are subject to government legislation and as such their tax benefits may be changed in the future. The value of current tax relief depends on individual circumstances. If you have doubts about your tax position, you should seek professional advice.
