Savings & investments

Anyone having problems with Chase? My savings account has disappeared and can only see current account. Can't access statements either.. Edit.. It’s just come back

MSE best savings is now showing Habib Bank Zurich @ 5.75% for 6 month, but when I go to the bank webpage, it is only 5.30 % for 6 month. Seems like the MSE rate is wrong????

Sorry if this has been covered in other posts. As the title says really... all i see these days are reports that the AI bubble will crash, a market correction is coming etc etc i know that no one really knows, but is anyone doing anything in advance? I am half tempted to sell some funds i'm pretty much 100% global equities…

Hi is the £100 raisin welcome bonus only open to new customers ? I already have account that's matured so can I get the offer as existing customer?

I received an email from Brendon Johnson of Blockchain Support Department in my junk folder saying my account was classified as dormant due to inactivity. It also said my wallet holds a balance of 2.6 BTC equivalent to €255,619.72 EUR. TBH I don’t know anything about this as cannot recall ever investing. Is it a scam ??…

I understand that an equalisation payment is a return of capital invested when I buy fund units between ex-div dates. The fund in question is the HSBC FTSE All-World Index Fund C Income held in a GIA. Presumably this is just a calculation of the portion of the reporting period that I have owned the units i.e. if the…

Hi, After research, I have decided to invest in the HSBC FTSE all world index fund (small ongoing fee 0.13%). You can get this with HSBC in an S&S ISA - with a platform / account fee of 0.25% which seems quite reasonable in comparison to others (such as HL 0.45%). I want to have the fund with a reputable platform (hence…

I'm looking at Waverton Real Assets as a diversifier to my SIPP which is essentially a regular mainstream equity/fixed income 60/40 mix. In one fund it offers: infrastructure, commodities, property and some debt financing. Its recent form has been OK but it's not offered on Hargreaves Lansdown where I hold my SIPP. I don't…

and in that time the ftse global all cap is up 17.45%. I sold for a good reason though, to secure my money to buy my first property, but 17.45% in 4 months after selling makes me feel sick to my stomach. Considering the market averages 9% per year, losing out on nearly 18% in 4 months is gut wrenching. And the worst part…

Why does the 80% equities option do so well & outperform both the sixty & hundred, I find it hard to find information about what stocks it invest in. What are some other funds with similar performance to this over the last 12 months, three years and five years

Just wondering if anybody else is having problems logging in to the Royal Mint website today? The login/account icon (for want of a better word) has disappeared from my home screen and if I navigate to the login page directly from google it tells me that my account was not found. Also I've tried this from two different…

Is it possible to transfer a partial amount from my Charter bank isa into a trading 212 account ? The funds which in the Charter account are from the previous years allowance. I was told it had to be the full amount but not too sure if this correct .. Thanks

I have a question regarding stock market and share taxin the event of a change in tax residency.Around 2002, as a Polish resident, I purchased shares in a Polish company, which I still own today and on which I have made a large loss.I have been a UK tax resident since 2004.Can I offset this loss from the time I was a…

Just curious about your opinion. I can see around huge interest in people buying solar panels and batteries while at the same time lack of interest in renewable energy investment trusts. Using basic info from MSE articles, let's pick up a typical solar system with battery that costs £7000 and generates £700 a year of…

I just came across some old documents where I invested some money into a Maxi MultISA with Skanida MultiFUNDS back in 2004. I have little recollection on this and wondered what was the best way to locate the investment. A lot of these financial companies have passed these onto other institutions. I do not think I had an…

I am considering switching about £50K held within an ISA account with iweb in VL60 to a money market fund , possibly Vanguard Short-Term Money Market Fund -Accumulation. 1. Would the procedure to keep the ISA status be to simply sell the VL60 and buy once Iweb has credited the cash to my ISA account or would I need to do…

Hi! I have a First Direct Regular saver that will mature in January, currently just under £3k in it. I've not switched current accounts for ages so looking at switching to Club Lloyds, but do I need to wait until the regular saver matures? If I switch before would it close the savings account or am I still eligible on the…

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…

Hello folks, I would greatly appreciate any advice that some of you might be kind enough to share. I recently inherited £100,000 from a relative who very sadly passed away. I have maxed out both my ISA and SIPP contributions for this year, but I want to get this money working for me in a Fund right away. Over the coming…

Having a Bond for 17 years and wanting to withdraw all the original investment by year 20 having not withdrawn anything for the first few years..but ReAssure says there's a cap of 7.5% on regular withdrawals so need to ask for a 'special' 'one off' withdrawal to take anything above 7'5% ? I don't understand this..
