It's important to know
You have to be a UK resident for tax purposes 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.
