MonBS AGM (from Reg Saver thread)
Post by @Chaykin BS AGMs: Having so many accounts with various BSs inevitably means a lot of AGM correspondence - mostly via email nowadays although I have received one from Monmouthshire BS in the post recently. I tend not to bother voting etc. unless there's a prize draw or they say they will pay charities for voting.…

I have a self-managed ISA with II which currently has four active funds in it totalling around £300K. I'm (still) looking at moving some of those funds to passive equivalents.

Santander's new 8% regular saver?
What are peoples' thoughts on their new offering - especially for existing customers? Is it a no brainer? How quick was it to actually close your old RS when going via chat before you were able to open the new RS?

I am trying to have a diverse asset allocation while keeping it simple (eg hold 2 funds) but at the same time not putting all my eggs in 1 (to 2) basket, but I feel I am going in circles. Background…

At What Portfolio Size Would You Consider Professional Advice?
I've always been curious about this. Many people manage their own investments successfully, but at what point do you think it becomes worth getting professional advice? For example: £100k? £500k? £1 million+? Only when retiring? Never? Is it about the amount of money, or is it more about life events like retirement,…

Vanguard lowering fees - that's nice
Just got an email that Vanguard are lowering the fees on their FTSE All-World ETF from 0.19% to 0.14% - a 26% reduction! Not to be sniffed at - I wonder what drove them to that - presumably the competition and loss of customers?
