What are Stocks and Shares ISAs?

Unlike Cash ISAs, Stocks and Shares ISAs allow you to invest in company shares, bonds, and funds, with any profits (capital gains) or dividends also being tax-free. They carry more risk than Cash ISAs but can offer higher returns over the long term, making them another popular savings option.
