Read out the following definitions to respondents if necessary: A maxi ISA can include cash, stocks and shares, and life insurance in a single ISA with one manager. Mini ISAs mean you can have separate ISAs, with different managers, for cash, stocks and shares, and life insurance. A TESSA only ISA is opened with capital from a matured TESSA. You cannot invest in both a mini ISA and a maxi ISA in the same tax year. However, it is possible for people to have a current portfolio which includes both a mini ISA and a maxi ISA that they've had from a previous year.
