Counting only cash & shares it's around £120K & I'm 38. 12 months ago it was around £7K, but I had a lucky strike with a bit of an unusual windfall (£33K's worth) in Sept 06.0

Self trade are not a very good place to buy unit trust funds. They are expensive.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0

I was thinking that 1 month or so of commission free buying for an execution only service wasn't great when some are essentially commission free all year round.
Hargreaves Lansdown would be a much better choice for funds than selftrade.I am a Chartered Financial Planner

- Firstly Selftrade have an offer
http://www.selftrade.co.uk/fundoffer/
upto 28th September all fund purchases are commission free, excellent !
I would recommend opening a Maxi ISA with them and wrapping your funds up in there, trust me it will make sense further down the road, as you won't pay any tax.
Hargreaves Lansdown are still cheaper for holding funds in an ISA. No selling commission, no annual ISA fee and they rebate some of their trail commission.
Much of the rest of this particular post is specific investment advice which is against the forum rules - and much of that advice is totally irresponsible considering the poster has not a clue about the OP's personal position.0
