HMRC has a list stating which investments are allowed in ISAs, but sometimes investors, and even ISA providers, get confused by the rules. Here's what you need to know when picking your investments.

A Stocks and Shares ISA allows investments in a variety of assets including shares in UK and international companies, investment trusts, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and corporate and government bonds, all of which can be held in both lump sums and regular contributions. However, certain investments are prohibited within a Stocks and Shares ISA, such as non-qualifying investments like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, as well as shares in unquoted companies, which are not listed on a recognized stock exchange. Additionally, while you can invest in funds, those that hold more than 60% in non-qualifying investments, such as property or commodities, are also banned from being held in an ISA. It's important for investors to be aware of these restrictions to ensure compliance with ISA rules and to maximize the tax benefits offered by this type of account.
