Wellesley Investment
Hello, For the first time ever, I used this company to invest £5000, five years ago. It is almost at maturity. However I have been informed that it has now gone into liquidation as a result of the pandemic. They have brought in another company to oversee the business affairs on it's behalf. Does anyone know how this works…

Fortune and Freedom
Hi, So recently I signed up for regular emails from ex metals trader and politician, Nigel Farage under the title ‘Fortune and Freedom’ along with his regular contributor Nickolai Hubble, in their weekly discourse, apart from trying to push the appeal of investing in gold, of which I have very little interest in doing,…

Make money and save the planet
Wanted to share an article that truly resonated with me, investing into clean companies that do good to the planet and still make money. I do find it as a struggle to find a savings or investment provider that focuses on this aim. Normally I have to research firms and then search through investing apps hoping that they…

Transfer stocks from T212 to HL ISA
I need to transfer stocks from T212 (General investment account), inside HL (ISA account). I see the option to transfer all the account from HL, but it doesn't say anything about transferring few of them, moreover, they won't be automatically transferred inside ISA. So, is there only the manual way to sell and buy again…

Codemasters
Im a bit confused/uneducated in the stock markets. I opened one of those Freetrade accounts, which has served me well for its intended purpose. Codemasters was a free share but it’s showing in my account as worth 0.00. Checked HL and it’s showing as ORD GBP0.01. Yet the quoted sell price is 375.00p and a buy price of…

GDS Consulting
My apologies if this is in the wrong category. A company I have investments in is going into liquidation and I have been contacted by GDS Consulting as they have been appointed by the company to assist in the liquidation. They are offering help with the claim process for a fee. They sound OK, but has anybody had any…

GOLD---in the form of Krugerrands
A topic about gold jewellery on this Forum reminded me that I mentioned a day or two ago my 1 ounce Krugerrand collection------- in the savings and investments Forum, where it was very much out of context as the discussion of "punts" (that I doubt any poster invested in) was the order of the day. Can anyone tell me if they…

Best saving account for 16 year old but still managed by parent?
We've been putting money every month in to a Halifax Kids Monthly Saver for the last few years. Every anniversary that gets transferred into a Kids Everyday Saver. The child has now turned 16 so is no longer eligible for the Monthly Saver and the Everyday Saver is now only paying 0.01%. There's about £4k in total that I…

How to find foreign investment trusts?
I am looking for investment trusts that are traded in Euro and in US dollars, and so presumably are listed on exchanges in Europe and the USA. This is proving to be difficult: while the US Morningstar site gives details of "closed end funds" that are essentially what we would call ITs, I have not found anything remotely…

What to do with £60k
We have £60k left from my inheritance from my Aunt in 2015. At the moment we have £20k each in a Santander 123 account, which pays a decent amount of interest, and £10k each in Premium Bonds, which of course pay no interest but we do have regular small £25 wins (I would say at least seven a year each). I am convinced we…

Astra Zeneca shares
A great many Astra Zeneca shares have been at the core of my portfolio for the past decade. They have been volatile at times but I have always kept them. Now, my financial adviser, who I trust absolutely and to whom I usually give carte blanche ( with "big stuff"-----and I just play with smaller shares which I regard as a…

Marcus ----going down
As already reported a few days ago on MSE Forum, I got my email today from Marcus informing me of change in interest rate for easy-access account from 1.2% to 1.05% from end May. I have this account for the same reasons as all other easy-access account holders do; thankfully I do not rely on it a great deal. But this is a…
