Alternatives to Vanguard funds not available on etoro

BG Share Floatation 1980's - CGT Calculation?
Hi, I purchased 200 BG shares when they were privatised in the 1980's.

My wife and I set up an MIP (with the then Skandia Life) back in 1998 on the recommendation of a financial adviser. The main selling point was that - provided it was maintained for 10 years or more - any withdrawals and/or eventual payout on maturity would be free of personal and capital gains tax. This seemed attractive,…

Paper share certificates
I still get paper certificates from Aberdeen shares but I'd rather hold them electronically as royal mail is useless. Do I need to find every single certificate and post to Aberdeen before this can happen? I have an Equiniti account with them which shows my balance so not sure why I'm still getting paper certificates.

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.
