What do you think of tracker funds?
Good morning. To pick up on a point raised in another thread (Is this a viable plan?), what are your views on tracker funds as an option for someone like myself who basically wants a "buy-and-forget" investment product? I want to invest about £200 a month over the next 20 years or so. I don't intend to touch the money…

Before analysing specific products I would like to get a summary of…

Loose change - banking in for savings
Sorry, this question might be a bit stupid but this issue is confusing me. You know the money bags you get from the bank? Well on the front there is instructions printed stating "£5 in 10p or 5p £1 in 2p or 1p" ....You get the idea. What I want to know, is do the bags have to have that amount in them before they can be…

Opening ISAs rules...
Hi I opened a cash mini ISA with Smile around five years ago. I paid some money into it earlier this tax year but haven't yet used up my £3K allowance.

Mini Isa
If I were to invest in one now bearing in mind the tax year ends next month - when would I receive the benefits of doing this ? I will only have this money to invest for a couple of months as buying a property but am thinking I might be able to make a few quid beforehand ?

Savings or mortgage overpayments?
Now I think this is a really silly question, but this is my first post so be nice... We're about to buy a house. Currently we have a bit more disposable income than our mortgage payments will be so we were planning to overpay regularly. Surely if we can get a better interest rate on savings than we are paying on our…

Recommended Investment Websites?
Hi all Is there a particular website that those in the know would recommend? At the moment I'm trawling through HL, Fidelity, Trustnet, MF, FT.com, MSE (natch), plus the sunday papers websites, which is all fairly time-consuming (I know it goes with the territory). I just wondered if you guys who are well into this use…

Where to save if you really don't care about Interest Rates?
Hi, I've decided I'm going to do some proper saving just £100 from my wages plus everything I earn from eBay and so on. Would you say an ISA is the correct way to go? I don't care about interest tates (due to religious reasons) so would prefer saving that offered convenience or lower "fees" and fines.

Comments please on my possible investment
I am looking into starting an investment with fidelity. The investment is aimed at about 10 years - at about £400 per month - into an ISA starting in April. I will probably just leave it once I start the investment - don't have enough time or interest to monitor it too often - maybe have a look once every few month on how…
