So I am currently living in the UK and i just turned 18 meaning I got access to my trust fund. I have decided that I wanted to invest this money by opening a stocks and shares ISA (specifically with trading 212). So when I tried to open an account, it told me I could not as I am a "US person" (I was born with duel citizenship USA and UK). Upon further research I discovered the reason why many UK banks do not allow US persons to open ISAs. The short answer is: Under FATCA, non-US banks and other “foreign financial institutions” are obliged to report to the IRS – as provided for by inter-governmental agreements signed by the governments of the various jurisdictions in which the relevant financial institutions are located, and the US government – on the assets held by their American clients. In other words U.S. laws, like FATCA, require foreign banks and investment firms to report accounts held by U.S. citizens to the IRS and many dont want to go through the hassle of that so they wont let us open an account to begin with. Also i was told [im not sure if its true but it sounds it] that the USA doesn't recognize ISAs as a tax free savings account so even if I managed to get an ISA i might not get any benefit from it. So I would like to know, what options do I have for investing/growing my money as a US person living in the UK? (I have plans of probably moving back to the USA in the future as this seems to be the simplest way to solve this issue but not for a minimum of 5 years because i have to finish college and than uni. Yes I looked into revoking my US citizenship and it is not an easy process and you have to pay a lot for it)
