abrdn Share Plan
A flexible way to invest in any of our investment trusts, outside of an ISA.
Invest nowInvest in investment trusts your way
abrdn Investment Trusts offer a wealth of investment choice – and our Share Plan offers a really easy, flexible way to hold them.
The Share Plan lets you invest regular monthly amounts or one-off lump sums. You can invest in as many of our investment trusts as you like (subject to our minimum investment per trust). You can stop, start and change contributions at any time without penalty. You can also access your capital whenever you need to – although investment trusts are recommended as medium to long-term investments.
The Investment Trust Share Plan is taxable. But for many investors who have already used up their annual tax-free ISA allowance, it can be a useful additional way to invest.
Laws and tax rules may change. The value of tax benefits will depend upon individual circumstances.
Risk warning
The value of investments and the income from them can go down as well as up and you may get back less than the amount invested.
