Mii for £250k

My retired mum has recently downsized her property to free up about £250k which she really needs to generate some income for her (she has very little income outside of her state pension). She currently has about £100k invested in skipton MII which has performed well for her over the past couple of years. As neither of us are terribly au fait with investments and such like I thought I would ask the opinion here about whether that was a sensible route? (Neither of us have the time or wherewithal to manage investments ourselves.)

Thanks.

  • For those kind of sums probably worth getting the advice of an IFA rather than a bunch of anonymous, unaccountable internet folk.

    Arrange appointments with at least two or free IFA's and see what each of them say. You could also do a bit of reading on here and online in general so you have some idea as to how things work before you sit down in front of someone.

    Monitored Informed Investments? A kind of tied FA service?

    You could try http://www.unbiased.co.uk/ for an Independent Financial Adviser if you wished.
