I tend to look every few days, quick check on the markets on the bbc website to give a good indication first of course!

VLS100 (acc) has been the best investment I ever made.
Buying a house soon and I don't know whether to part sell or keep it.

If you're investing money in a long term VLS100 fund that you know you're going to need as cash soon then you're gambling on a favourable outcome.

Does this sound like the right place for a house deposit?

It might work out well, it might not.

You'll do your nut in doing that
Check it every 6 months or so...after all, it's a long-term investment.

I've got stock watcher app that I used when I first started when I was buying individual shares before I got edumacated and realised I needed to build up a decent portfolio first before doing that!:j

Good advice to be fair. Is it sad I also look at my pension..... I find actually looking at MY pension helps me be less panicky about my isa investment.I can't get at my pension and most of my long term investment is in this (105000 as opposed to 20k in my s and s isa) so movements make a fair difference to the pension now. You realise it doesn't matter . You Can't get at your pension so why would you do any different with your s and s isa

I think iweb or halifax would be a good option. I joined halifax when iweb were charging a £200 fee, and have had no problems with them.

The site probably isn't as sophisticated as some out there, but for £12.50 a year platform fee, it's good enough for my needs.

I use iweb for my ISA's and overall they are pretty good especially from a cost perspective.

I'm not sure I will move my SIPP to them though because of the limitations on some areas of their fund offerings (some Ruffers for example).

I think people must be voting and that bumps it back up without a post being added.
