Frequently asked questions - transferring to a OneFamily Stocks and Shares ISA
Our ISA invests in stocks and shares, which has higher potential for growth than interest-only accounts over the long term. Looking back over the past 60 years, people who chose to invest have generally made more money than those who chose to save in an interest-only account*.
However, as with all investing, there is a risk that the value of your investment could go down.
People choose OneFamily because of our competitive charges and our strong moral compass. We’re not owned by shareholders so we don’t pay dividends - put simply this means our profits are used to benefit our members and our community.
We also care about the environment and offer our ISA customers the option to invest in a climate-focused fund, meaning this fund considers the climate credentials of companies before buying shares in them.
As a member of OneFamily, you'll be able to apply for a Young Person's Education Grant on behalf of someone aged 15-19 years old.

*UK Sustainable Investment Labels
"Sustainable Investment Labels" have been introduced to help investors find products that have a specific sustainability goal, although not every fund that uses sustainable criteria qualifies for these labels. Because the way Global Equity invests doesn't exactly align with the definition used for these labels, this product doesn't have a UK Sustainable Investment label.
More information on sustainability labels, and a reminder of how Global Equity targets sustainable environmental outcomes, can be found in our sustainability disclosure document.
Find out about UK Sustainable Investment Labels on the Financial Conduct Authority website.
