Grateful for advice

easylife_2

Hi all,

Grateful for any advice on this proposal.

I have come into about £8000 from which i would like to make the maximum possible return over 3 years without exposing to much risk.

I was planning to invest the max possible in a cash isa this year (as i haven't used my allowance) - grateful for advice on a good one to go with, then do the same again after April for next years allowance and put the remainder in a savings account like cahoot (so i have easy access but still get a reasonable rate?) from where i can pay £250 a month into the Barclays 10% offer as my salary goes into barclays.

Does this sound reasonable / workable or is there a better way to do it? Thanks in advance for any help,

Sam

Yes it does. You need to check out the best buy tables for ISA's but watch out for the introductory offers, which end after a certain period (i.e. Alliance and Leicester 5.2% but introductory offer lasts a year) you can move it then. Here is an article from the Guardian this weekend that takes a look at ISA's

Also look at Martin's article

Sorry the article in the Guardian is maxi ISA's I will find you a mini one

Here is another article which looks at whether it is worth taking a risk or not. Three years... not sure you would want to go fora nything shares based. However loads more people on here with plenty of experience and advice
