The Abundance IF ISA
The Innovative Finance ISA (IF ISA) allows you to hold a range of alternative finance products in a tax-free wrapper that keeps any returns you receive free of tax. The IF ISA allows you to subscribe up to £20,000 in the 2023/24 tax year and protects the return on those investments from tax. You can also reinvest your returns without being taxed, meaning you can grow your money for as long as you like, tax free. Most investments offer six-monthly cash returns, which are then paid straight into your Abundance IF ISA account.
With this ISA you can choose every investment in it, so you can create a portfolio across multiple sectors and investment life stages that matches your financial goals with your vision for a more sustainable future. The minimum investment amount is just £5.
Other Services
As well as the IF ISA, Abundance also offer Pension Schemes.
