can i have a thumbs up?

will be in the position of having 15k to invest come the end of march. my idea for where to put this is A&L Direct ISA Issue 2 at 5.2%. if i get 3k in before april 6th and then another 3k in after april 6th, and the missus does the same thats 12k taken care of. the remaining 3k could go into A&L online saver issue 2 at 5.15%. i notice both these accounts have bonuses included until march 07, will i be penalised in any way if i shift my money elsewhere come march next year? i assure you i aint no salesman for A&L, just these seemed the best deal at the mo? ii wouldnt mind something with abit more risk for some of the money, but wouldnt know where to find this sort of account/investment? any ideas or thoughts would be appreciated........

thanks in advance.....

  • Your plan is fine, and no penalties for moving but ensure you TRANSFER the ISAs and dont simply close the accounts, else you cant pay in anymore for that financial year
