    If you're prepared to lose 100% of your money why not invest in S&S that are FSCS protected? The risk of losing money is far less with a properly balanced portfolio that something like this that could lose everything and isn't protected.


    Lots of threads about them here so worth checking the search
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.

    If you're getting virtually no interest have you already filled the 5% down to 3% current account options?

    There are a number of non-deposit, unregulated, 100% risk of loss investments that have marketers that are intentionally using wording to give the impression that they are fixed rate deposits.
    It is scandalous behaviour that is only made worse by the regulator not doing its job. Probably as it is too busy criticising advisers for not using decent text formatting on their MS word documents and doesnt have time to deal with real consumer matters.
