When BMO started over 200 years ago our goal was to bring the potential benefits of investing to more people.
Today we think investing is more important than ever and our range of plans and trusts are designed to help you reach your investment goals, whatever they are. At BMO, our aim is to help our clients overcome the challenges they face and deliver the investment outcomes they seek. This ambition isn’t new. We can trace it through a heritage that spans back 200 years and includes the launch of the world’s oldest collective investment fund – F&C Investment Trust, launched in 1868. Whether you are a new or returning customer, all the information on how to invest can be found below.
Opening an account with BMO is straightforward.
Decide whether to invest for income, growth or a combination of the two and whether you want to invest in property, within the UK and Europe or globally.
Consider your risk appetite and ensure you are comfortable with risks involved in investing in our investment trusts.
You can invest monthly, in lump sums or a combination of both.
Tax allowances and the benefits of tax-efficient accounts are subject to change and tax treatment depends upon your individual circumstances. As with all investments, the value can go down as well as up and you may not get back the original amount invested.
Before investing, please make sure you have read the Key Features and Terms & Conditions for the savings plan you have selected and the relevant Key Information Document/Pre Sales Disclosure documents.
*Please note a new CTF cannot be opened, however you can transfer an existing Child Trust Fund to a BMO Child Trust Fund or a BMO Junior ISA.
As you’re already investing with us you’ll already know about the benefits of investing with us. And because we have 150 years of investment experience, you can be sure your money is working hard for you.
But there still may be a way to make even more of your investments, for example by topping up your ISA or Junior ISA to the annual limit.
If you’re registered for online access, simply log in and top-up. If you don’t currently have access to view your accounts online, click here to download our guide on how to do so.
Remember investing involves risks and you may not get back the original amount invested.
