New to ii Platform
I have recently transferred from HL to ii, which saves me quite a lot in fees per year. Obviously changing from one platform to another is a bit frustrating as you try to get used to the new system. I remember changing from Windows to Mac and initially regretting it until I got used to the changes. However one of the…

ARM on track to be the UKs most valuable company

Can You Sense Check This - Optimising Tax on Pension and Savings
I would appreciate some feedback on this plan, to understand if it is a good approach to minimising tax. I have recently come into a cash windfall due to a DB PCLS and generous redundancy package.

NASDAQ rule changes....
So NASDAQ have taken away their 6 month / 1 year delay on newly listed companies being squeezed into our pension funds. Which means any new company taking a huge hit in the first year comes out of penson funds. Just wondering, how much is the VLS60 affected? I naively think that FTSE isn't exposed, except through a knock…

To achieve another 12 months of 1.5%…

Fair Fund Notice - Barclays Bank
I'm in the UK, had Barclays ordinary shares a while back but sold them all, only had £500 worth. Pretty sure I bought them before 2019 so this might mean nothing to me.
