What’s a GIA?

It’s your straightforward investment account

There’s no upper limit on how much you can pay in, and you can withdraw your money at any time.

A GIA doesn’t have any tax benefits, like ISAs and pensions do, so your investments would be subject to tax. Whether you pay tax, and how much, will depend on your personal tax circumstances.

If you’ve not used up your ISA allowance this tax, you may want to look instead at the Dodl investment ISA.

Investment returns are based on the AJ Bell balanced fund performance where available (2018-2022) and its underlying asset allocation in all previous years to simulate performance. Simulated performance (prior to 2018) has been calculated using the current asset allocation which may have been different in the past and is exclusive of investment charges. Investment returns shown exclusive of platform charges. Savings returns are based on an assumed average figure of 1% interest year on year.

    While investing with Dodl is…a doddle, it carries risk. The value of your investments can go down as well as up and you could end up with less than you put in.

    The charges

    Investing needn’t be scary or expensive. That’s why you’ll only pay one simple charge for your Dodl GIA.

    How much?

    0.15% of the value of your investments per year (min £1 per month)

    How will I pay it?

    It’s collected from the available cash in your GIA once a month, so it’s spread over the whole year.

    Anything else?

    The investments you choose have their own charges to buy/sell or hold them.

    Important to know

    You have to be a UK citizen and resident to open an account with Dodl. 

    The past performance of investments isn't an indicator of their future performance and their value can go down as well as up. This means you could get back less than you originally invested. 

    Dodl doesn’t offer any advice so if you’re not sure about the risks involved with investing, you should speak to a suitable financial adviser. 

    How you're taxed depends on your circumstances, and tax rules can change in future.
