    He said Wesleyan didn't allow IFA s access to their funds and that they were a mutual so all profits went to investors,( less salaries of course!) hence better returns.

    That's what the Equitable salesmen used to say :( Funny how these mutuals never mention that all the losses go to investors as well, as there are no shareholders.

    Not that I think Wesleyan is about to fall over, but it's always a risk factor with a mutual, though one that is never mentioned.
    Trying to keep it simple...;)

    RE Scot Equit WPB: still has 6% MVR, so I guess I would lose if I took it out now.

    Have you made all the yearly withdrawals (usually 5% of total invested) you are allowed under the bond? They are MVR free. If you haven't used them, you should be able to take out 7 years worth all at once now.Then you could leave the rest of the money until it matures and you can get it out MVR free.

    Makes a start at least.
