Hi

I would appreciate any advice on what Im doing with my spare cash.

I have £10,000 tied up in a 2 year ISA which matures next year.

I have dipped my toe in the water with £100 a month going into a stocks and shares ISA. This was sorted by a financial advisor, because I was depressed by interest rates.

The £100 a month is split between:
Invesco perpetual high income fund
M and G Global Dividend Inc GBP

I have no idea if the above are any good, but just followed the advice I was given and followed a gut instinct to try to do something better with my money.

I am due a few pay rises soon and may increase the payment to the stocks and shares.

Any feedback much appreciated, but please put it in simple terms and please be kind!!!

Thanks!
