My Ethical Choice (ISA)

Many of us want to be more responsible, especially when it comes to investing. Preparing for the future is important and it can be mutually inclusive of your values, too.

Capital at risk.

Stay in control - stop, restart, increase or decrease your monthly payments anytime.

Please note that Scottish Friendly doesn’t offer a Cash ISA. Keep in mind stock market investments can go down as well as up, so you could get back less than you’ve paid in. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and tax rules could change in the future.

Your single fund investment choice

Get yourself a My Ethical Choice (ISA), and:

  • Invest from £10 a month, a £100 lump sum - or both.

  • Your money will be invested in a My Choice investment policy within a Scottish Friendly ISA.

  • This policy then invests in our International Ethical fund.

This information together with the Key Information Document (KID) gives you an overview of the fund including any charges and should be read alongside the Product Guide.

Scottish Friendly doesn’t provide advice. The information provided should help you decide if the plan is suitable for you. If you’re not sure whether this plan is suitable, you should contact a financial adviser. Advisers may charge for providing such advice and should confirm any cost beforehand.

To apply for this ISA you need to be 18 or over and a UK resident. For the current tax year the overall maximum you can save across all your ISA types is £20,000. Please remember that this is a medium to long term investment (of at least 5 years, preferably 10). Your investment will grow free from tax, except for any tax we pay on your behalf (such as on dividends from UK shares). Tax treatment will depend on your own circumstances and may be subject to change in the future. Investments can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you’ve paid in.
