Hi Richard,

I do hope you are well

Most CTF providers have an option of converting their CTF to a JISA (Cash or Stocks and Shares) if not, many of the well-known providers offer a transfer in service. On the Boring Money JISA page, the top rate providers are AJ Bell, Vanguard, and Fidelity. They all provide pre-made investment strategies at different investment risk ratings to suit.

Typically, you have to open a JISA first then transfer the funds.

I hope this helps.

All the best Liam
