Derivatives and other complexities in Man GLG Dynamic Income
It took me a few years to get a basic understanding of bonds
– stuff about duration only really sunk in after interest rates rose in 2022 (though
by luck not judgement I mostly held short duration). The only actively managed
bond fund I hold is Man GLG Sterling Corporate Bond which has performed well since
its launch in…

Skandia MultiISA search
I just came across some old documents where I invested some money into a Maxi MultISA with Skanida MultiFUNDS back in 2004.

Woodford compensation and No Win No Fee fees
I joined the class action with Harcus Parker for redress from the Woodford catastrophe which to cut a long story short was not heard in court and instead redress was made via FCA.

Monmouth Building Society is so slow
Like millions of others I applied via my computer for their new regular saver a/c yesterday. Today they told me it would be faster if I downloaded their app and applied that way. I've been stuck on a page saying they're "currently processing your application" for 6 minutes now and presume it will be a long long time before…

Why would anyone invest in VWRP over SPDR MSCI ACWI UCITS ETF
I am deciding in which global etf to invest in. VWRP has a 0.22% and also charges a transaction cost while SPDR MSCI ACWI UCITS ETF charges 0.12% OCR. Is this something that is too good to be true? Am I better off going into a more trusted and household name in vanguard. Why does SPDR MSCI ACWI UCITS ETF cost more?
