Winner of the Best Mutual Insurer for the 5th year running at the CFI.co 2023 awards.
Invest alongside other ISA types up to your annual £20,000 ISA limit.
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, except on your 10-year anniversary. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and tax rules could change in the future.
What we stand for
Welcome to Scottish Friendly, where our strength is our community. Investing with us isn’t just about choosing a stocks and shares ISA. It’s about investing with specialists.
For over 160 years, we’ve been helping families like yours save and invest for their future. As a member-led mutual, your family’s future is what drives us.
Not profits. Not shareholders. (That would be tricky, we don’t have any.) Every decision is made with you in mind, aiming to secure a better tomorrow.
Industry awards including “Best Tax Efficient Products Provider” at the 2023 World Business Outlook Awards, aren’t just for show. They’re a recognition of our expertise and commitment to helping you and your family on your investment journey.
When you invest with us, you’ll benefit from a wealth of knowledge and a track record of excellence.
Most of all, you’ll be in capable hands.
Investing for life
We want saving and investing to be accessible. From moving home to enjoying retirement. From your child's education to their first set of wheels. That’s why our Stocks & Shares ISAs and Junior ISAs are made for beginners and seasoned investors alike. Check out our free friendly guides.
Your single fund investment choice
Get yourself a My Easy 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 Unitised With-Profits fund.
It comes with a minimum cash sum on your 10-year anniversary of investing (which is at least as much as you've invested). That's provided you don't make any withdrawals or switch money out of the fund.
Plus there's the potential for growth.
The fund 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.
Unitised With-Profits Fund
A mixed managed fund from Scottish Friendly where premiums are pooled with those of other clients and returns are linked to the performance of the underlying assets within the fund.

Please remember that this is a medium to long term investment (of at least 5 years, preferably 10).
