What Does CMC Invest's Flexible ISA Mean?
One of the key advantages of CMC Invest's ISA is that it's a flexible ISA, which means you can take money out, and then put it back in, which you can't do with a normal stocks and shares ISA (as it only recognises the deposits, not the withdrawals).
In a stocks and shares ISA, you can lose invested money, just as with any other investment.
