They rent out motor vehicles, and their proposal is that you lend them the money to buy the vehicle, and they rent it out. Your money is secured against…

KCom dividend
Sorry if this is a stupid question. I have just registered at capitashareportal.com to have my KCom dividend paid directly into my bank account in future. I assumed there would be no admin fee for this but now am not so sure. It looks to me as if the fee only applies if you transfer money out of the country but ????????…

Launch of fund - when to get in??

Surely the fund manager would see funds coming in, would buy shares at a cost (less than I pay but still a cost), and thus unless the market was moving rapidly upwards must show an initial loss. I…

Inflation linked savings vs Fixed term bond (or similar)
I have £12,000 to invest for my 16 year old son (non taxpayer). He is not entitled to it until he's 21, so it can be put away for 5 years (he's planning further education after school so not sure how that will affect any tax implications in the future). In simplistic terms (please :o ) how are interest rates and inflation…
