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.
Split your ISA into pots to manage multiple investment goals.
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.
My Prime (ISA) charges
Our funds have an annual management charge of 1.5% included in the fund price.
However, as a thank you for your long-term commitment to investing we will credit your policy each month with a 1% rebate of your fund value as long as you have an active payment of £100 a month or more, or your policy has a value of £2,000 or more. This means you will effectively pay just 0.5% a year.
Please bear in mind that, to receive the rebate of 1%, each pot requires regular monthly investment of at least £100 or holds a policy value of at least £2,000 – this is because we apply your cash rebate value at individual fund level within your policy.
The cash rebate value will only apply to the Guaranteed Cash fund in the event that the growth rate from the underlying assets within the fund is 1.5% or more.
More information can be found in our Product Guide.
Transferring an existing ISA
If you already have an Investment ISA, you can transfer it over to a My Prime (ISA) with us. You don’t need to withdraw the money from your existing ISA to pay it into a new one. If you do, it will count towards your current year’s ISA allowance. Instead, you can request a transfer.
To do this you would fill in the My Prime (ISA) application as you would normally if you were applying for the ISA and during the application select the transfer option. After you have completed the application, you would download the transfer application and send back to us.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accept transfers from flexible ISAs.
