But what else should I be looking at

It is updated regularly by Special saver2, there is a change to the accounts available from HSBC, which is now paying 5% instead of 4% previously, or 10% instead of 8% if you have the relevant current accounts.

If you know more than the average fund manager then share trading may be a good idea. But if you don't, then you may be better off putting most of the money you want to invest for the medium/long term into a unit trust or investment trust.
