Nutmeg is one of the UK's original robo-advisors, founded in 2011 and now owned by JPMorgan Chase. It pioneered the concept of digital wealth management in the UK — offering fully managed, low-cost investment portfolios accessible to everyday investors with no need for financial advice.

Nutmeg builds and manages diversified portfolios of ETFs on behalf of its customers, matched to their individual risk appetite. The Stocks & Shares ISA is its flagship product, and it comes in three portfolio styles: Fully Managed (active management), Smart Alpha (powered by J.P. Morgan), and Fixed Allocation (lower cost, passive).

Nutmeg is designed for investors who want a professional-quality managed portfolio without the cost or complexity of a traditional financial adviser. You answer a few questions, choose your risk level, and Nutmeg builds and rebalances your portfolio automatically.

Nutmeg's Stocks & Shares ISA is a fully managed account — you do not choose or manage individual investments. Instead, you select a risk level (from 1 to 10), and Nutmeg builds a globally diversified portfolio of ETFs designed to match that risk profile. The portfolio is automatically rebalanced over time.

The three portfolio styles offer different levels of management. Fixed Allocation is the most passive and lowest cost (0.25% for the management fee). Fully Managed is more actively managed at 0.45%. Smart Alpha uses J.P. Morgan's investment strategies and also costs 0.45%. All three are available within the ISA.

Fees are one of the most important factors when choosing an ISA platform. Over long periods, even small differences in fees can have a significant impact on your investment returns. Here is a full breakdown of what Nutmeg charges.

Nutmeg gives UK investors access to a range of investment types within its Stocks & Shares ISA. Below are the main asset classes available on the platform.

Security and regulation are critical factors when choosing where to invest your money. Here is how Nutmeg protects your investments.

Nutmeg is one of the easiest investment platforms to use because it removes nearly all decisions from the investor. The onboarding process takes around 10 minutes — you answer questions about your goals, time horizon, and risk tolerance, and Nutmeg recommends a suitable portfolio.

Once invested, the platform handles everything automatically. There is no need to monitor markets, rebalance your portfolio, or make investment decisions. This makes Nutmeg ideal for investors who want the benefits of a diversified investment portfolio without needing to understand the details of individual assets.

The mobile app and dashboard provide clear portfolio performance data, projected values, and goal tracking. Reporting is transparent and easy to understand — you can see exactly what you are invested in and how each component is performing.

Opening a Stocks & Shares ISA with Nutmeg is straightforward and typically takes around 10 to 15 minutes.

One of the biggest advantages of investing through a Stocks & Shares ISA is the tax efficiency it provides. In the UK, investments held outside an ISA are subject to Capital Gains Tax (CGT) on profits above the annual allowance of £3,000, and Income Tax on dividends above the £500 dividend allowance. Inside an ISA, both of these taxes are completely eliminated — no matter how much your investments grow.

For long-term investors, this can make a substantial difference over time. For example, an investor who generates £5,000 in gains outside an ISA would pay up to £480 in Capital Gains Tax (at 18% basic rate). Inside an ISA, that same gain is entirely tax-free. The ISA allowance resets every tax year on 6 April, and any unused allowance cannot be carried forward.
