There are two ways to grow your deposit with a Nude Lifetime ISA — save it or invest it.
If you save in cash, your money and the government bonus gains interest over time. Nice and simple!
If you choose to invest, your money and the 25% government bonus will go into a fund which buys shares of companies and other assets. Investing tends to be a good long term option (think five years plus), but the value of your investment could go down, which would mean it could take longer to reach your goal. It all depends on how much risk you want to take and when you want to buy your home.
Either way, we’ve got options for you:
