Barclays Open Invest Closing, Advice Needed

Tugsy1983

Hi all, first time poster.

I've been getting some recent communication from Barclays about my investment product (dynamic tracker 80) with them closing down. I have three options, move to their new product, close the service down, or lastly move it to a new product.

Admittedly this is something I've been procrastinating on, but it's now getting to the point where I need to make a decision. I was wondering if anyone else has one of their investment products and has had to make a decision? And if so, what did you opt to do?

There's just over £5.000 left in the account now after getting my first mortgage last year. I think really what I would like is something where I have peace of mind and can start topping up the product / service from the new year.

Thank you in advance for any advice.

What is their range like? The only Barclays stuff I have is "normal" bank accounts, but I do have an S&S ISA with another bank, looking at adding to it but finding that the range of funds I can select within it is very limited.


So if you're thinking of adding into it, the available choice must be a deciding factor, along with costs etc. Most of the advice I see on here about choosing an investment platform tends to steer people away from banks.
