What are cash and unit transfers?

Cash transfer

  • The investments of your current ISA are sold.
  • The cash is transferred into your new ISA and used to buy new investments.
  • So while the transfer is happening, your money won't be invested in the markets.

Unit transfer

  • The investments of your current ISA are transferred to your new ISA without being sold.
  • So while the transfer is happening, your money will stay invested.
