bear-uk Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Had a quick look at the link. I dont use any of the high profile lenders that are advertised. There rates don't seem that great and if you're taking a bit of a chance then it might as well be worth it. I made my decision after reading Money savings expert web site. Previously the Banks gave a better return and it was worth bouncing 1K around a few to get a good interest rate. IE Santander would give you 3% on 60K for a couple. LLoyds, TSB and possibly some others give a better Safe return on a couple of grand so that might swallow up the 10K. Never had Premium bonds myself but the Wife has about 20K and gets the odd £25 win out of it. The op could always split his money around the various institutions.

billytheghillie Posted March 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 Thanks for all the replys and advice lads. As it is my other halfs fathers dosh I think I will be going with the premium bonds. If I do win owt, it will be a bonus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashman Posted March 27, 2017 Report Share Posted March 27, 2017 Treat the free advice on this thread for what it is - gossip you'd get down the pub. Alternatively, read up yourself for free. Or, pay an IFA. "You pays your money, you takes your choice.". Without knowing anything about your circumstances, save you're asking for advice on a shooting forum(!), I'd say look for an interest-bearing with notice deposit account or something risk free - like premium bonds. Anything else will probably swallow any potential profit in dealing fees. You probably won't qualify as an exempt retail investor and so can't invest in many products with a £10,000 ticket price.

You have confused me with the last part of your post. "You probably won't qualify as an exempt retail investor and so can't invest in many products with a £10,000 ticket price." What does that mean?

Have a minimum investment size of £10,000 is an indicator that the investment is not meant for retail investors. Retail = man in the street. Exempt retail = HNW.
