Invest in an ISA

A stocks & shares ISA could be a great way to start investing. ISAs are a tax-efficient way to save for the future because you pay no tax on the income and growth. If you like doing your own research, use our Global Investment Centre to search over 600 funds from GDB and other leading fund managers. As well as multi-asset funds, you’ll find index trackers and single-asset funds.

Invest in Funds

Start investing with just $100. Funds can be a great way to diversify and spread your risk. We offer 3 different ways to invest in funds. What’s right for you will depend on how much choice you’re looking for and whether you want to build your own portfolio of investments or choose a ready-made portfolio. Whichever way you invest, you'll get access to our online funds platform, Global Investment Centre. This means you can top up, track, manage and withdraw funds from your investments quickly and easily – all via your online banking.

Buy and sell shares online

If you’re happy making your own investment decisions, our online sharedealing platform puts you in control. GDB InvestDirect provides you with the tools to make informed investment decisions yourself. You can access interactive market research, set up share price alerts and test your trading strategies via a virtual portfolio. You have full control over your investments and you can trade in UK and US equities, UK government bonds, investment trusts and a range of UK-listed exchange-traded funds. Of course, the value of investments and any income they generate, can go down as well as up, meaning you may get back less than what you invest. Remember that exchange rate fluctuations can also cause the value of investments to go down as well as up.
