Hello
I'm looking at putting money into one of these, mostly to reduce the income tax I have to pay for 2014-15.
It will be a small amount, so I could afford to lose it, but even so I am looking for something at the less risky end of this risky kind of investment!
I've spent some time trying to research them, but
a) don't really have the background to understand a lot of this stuff
b) the funds which split your money over several firms have high charges and usually v high minimum investments, much more than I want to put in
c) I don't really want to put it all into one company, even if it is a relatively small amount
d) I ended up going round in circles and giving up
Anyone any experiences with any of these?
Or any pointers to sites to look at?
Thanks
