    There's plenty of options inside a S&S ISA for different risks. Do you really need £150k of cash? Maybe it's worth keeping say £50k or £75k as cash and then move the remainder into low risk investments in a S&S ISA to keep the tax benefits.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    Spend £20K or £30K of it on a round the world cruise whilst you can.

    Archibald we already do that, we enjoy life to the full.
    Jim many thanks, any views on low risk investments in the S&S isa,s market,i had a financial advisor come to the house last week and it was a waste of tome he was more interested in getting me to move a large pension pot to their portal,i mentioned this 150K but i did not seem to get a clear recommendation
