Can I switch my investment between funds or share classes?
You can switch between funds and share classes. A switch is when you sell your holding in one fund or share class and buy back another. For example, if you hold shares in the Triodos Global Equities Impact Fund and want to switch to the Triodos Pioneer Impact Fund or if you wanted to switch from holding distribution shares to holding capitalisation shares within the same fund.
You can do this through the Triodos Mobile Banking App or Internet Banking. Simply sell the shares you no longer want and once that deal has settled and the funds have arrived in your Cash Account you can purchase the shares in the fund you now want instead. The minimum investment amount of £250 applies for initial investments and top ups, or £25 per month for regular monthly investments.
If you would like to switch, please ensure you have read the relevant Key Investor Information Document (KIID) for the new fund which can be found under Key Documents on the fund pages, as well as the Supplementary Information Document (SID) and the Terms and Conditions for our Impact Investment Funds and Stocks and Shares ISA.
Please note, when selling your holding outside of an ISA wrapper you may realise a capital gain or loss. Most individuals have a capital gains allowance of £3,000 (for the 2024/25 tax year), any gain below this amount means there is no charge on any profit you made. If you happen to make a capital loss this can be used to offset future capital gains.
For further information see How can I move my TBUK non-ISA impact investment into the Triodos Stocks & Shares ISA? (Bed & ISA).
Once you add money into a Stocks and Shares ISA Cash Account, this will count as an ISA subscription for the current tax year.
Keep in mind that when you buy and sell investments, you might buy back slightly less due to market movement. And with investing in general, there’s always the risk that you could get back less than you put in.
