Ns&i issue48indexlinked+0.5%for5years

hello.
would anyone out there please tell me how this ns&i 5year index linked investment is doing?. i invested the full £15,000 in to this investment & i have had no feedback at all.
Was it a wise choice ?, and should i still stick at it for the remaining 3 years before maturity (2016)?.
I read in the news etc that nsi have dropped there interest rates , will this affect the indexed linked issue 48?, any advice would be most welcome ,and thankyou.
julie

    You can check the current approx value of your investment on the NSI website. I can confidently say you should stick with it

    Feudal Britain needs land reform. 70% of the land is "owned" by 1 % of the population and at least 50% is unregistered (inherited by landed gentry). Thats why your slave box costs so much..

    The drop won't affect these index linkers and you'll get the (relative) rate promised.

    Go here to check how they are doing.

    I am not a financial adviser and neither do I play one on television. I might occasionally give bad advice but at least it's free.

    Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them.

    I'm pretty sure that this has done better than the majority of other bank accounts around.
    Faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

    Yup, and tax free too. We did multiple ones each in 2011 and I'm jolly glad we did!

    If you roll-over the certificates you will get a lower rate than previously, but still worthwhile in most people's view (although that is speculating on future inflation).
