Does anybody know the best fixed rate bond on the market at the moment we want to invest for 6months or a year thanks

  • I have just brought index linked certificates from nsandi .. If you are prepared to hold for at least a year .. you get RPI (+ % interest for each addtional month beyond that) and at the moment I can't see anything else that matches that ( at a comparable risk level) .. I know it not fixed but I suspect inflation isnt coming down for a year or so ..

    Take a look at easy access accounts from Egg and The AA.

    Both pay 2.80%, both include a 2.30% bonus for a year (so rate can't drop below this) and both give you better flexibility than tying your money up for 6-12 months.

    If you are willing to rely on the Dutch government's guarantee on the equivalent of 100,000 euros instead of the FSCS's on £50,000, ING offers an instant access account paying 2.75% fixed for the first year for new customers.
