Strawberry’s aim is simple, to provide you with the tools to take control of your investments at an incredibly low cost.
Strawberry’s Investor Direct platform allows you to open an online investment account, deposit money, and start investing straight away.
There are three account options, all with no set-up charges. The general investment account (“GIA”), individual savings account (“ISA”), and self-invested personal pension (“SIPP”) provide the basic wrappers to allow you to manage your savings and investments, so that you can enjoy a financial future that you’re in control of.
Make it Easy
Making and managing your investment plan requires careful consideration of why you are investing, the investment risk, how long you want or need to invest for, and what returns are required to achieve your goals.

Open an Investment Account
All three investment accounts allow you to invest into the full Strawberry investment range even if you are a first time investor, however they vary slightly in their tax treatment, accessibility, investment risk and the amount you can put into each per year.
Just open one investment account to start with and then add others as and when you want to. If you require further information regarding each of the accounts, please go to the types of account page.
