General Investment Accounts
For investors who have used their whole ISA allowance, have contributed to their pension and are now looking for somewhere else to save money, you could consider a General Investment Account (GIA).
Important Information
Please remember that the value of investments will fluctuate and returns may be less than the amount originally invested. Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and the GIA and tax rules can change. Whilst we may draw attention to certain investment products, we cannot know which of them, if any, is best for your circumstances and must leave that judgement to you. If you are unsure about the suitability of any investment you should seek professional advice.
Designated investment accounts

Where to invest?
In the UK alone, there are over 3,000 different funds to choose from, so choosing the right one can feel daunting.
At Chelsea, we have a number of different options.
