❓ Invest/ISA Help

Post Body

Hi there,

Recently started putting some money in an S&P 500 Dist ETF, just for long term, leave the money and forget etc.

I realise it won't make fast money but I'm aware that you have to pay tax typically. I'm in the UK, is it worth me instead opening an S&S ISA with my current bank rather than using Trading 212?

Thanks

Edit - just want to say thanks for all of you commenting, I was a plonker and of course didn't notice the ISA option at Trading212 and I was on stocks! Just going to wait for it to go back up to my original purchase price and move it over to the S&S ISA. Thanks again
