    ... you could look at https://www.moneyextra.com to get some advice of a sort.
    It depends too if you want to invest in cash or stocks and shares.
    They have a service where you put in your attitude to risk and it comes up with their top 5 unit trusts. The problem is past performnce is never a guide to the future etc. etc. so it is not easy, I have been looking for myself.
    They have a similar comparison service on cash ISAs.

    On one of Martin's earlier bulletins he highlighted an offer for 'What Investment' for about £1 for 12 issues and I took up the offer. My mind is still 'boggled' in fact possibly more so. You need to decide on a sector first and I can't even do that!
    Good Luck.
  • You prob need to seek some professional advice from an IFA, as they will look at your individual circumstances. I personally wouldn't get one that keeps commission.
