Most investors with a life expectancy of 20 years or more are likely to need at least some ISA growth. Without risk, you can't get growth. And without growth, your portfolio can be ravaged overtime by withdrawals and inflation. To help your portfolio survive the long haul, it's likely that you'll need to hold some portion of your ISA portfolio in stocks most of the time.
