Can I move my investments from my ISA to my GIA? (IG Invest)
No, you cannot directly move investments from an ISA (Individual Savings Account) to a GIA (General Investment Account). To transfer investments from an ISA to a GIA, you would first need to:
1. Sell the investments within your ISA.
2. Transfer the resulting cash from your ISA to your GIA.
3. Repurchase the investments within the GIA.
Note: this process can result in losing the tax benefits of the ISA, as any future gains in a GIA are subject to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) and income tax on dividends, unlike the tax-free status of an ISA.
