    MSE used to refer the savings as "losings" (with good reason) although I havent heard this recently. The effect of inflation on savings must be recognised.

    But the effect is often exaggerated - until recently we had found it easy to earn more than inflation. Part of the problem is that investment mangers often couldn't do it, being largely limited to treasury bills for their "cash". Personal investors had a much easier job.
    Free the dunston one next time too.

    Someone will probably say I'm wrong, but so far VLS 80 is one of my worst performing funds atm!

    So I'm guessing you only got in late last year/early this year then?

    Yes, I know, too early to tell however I'm just comparing it with some of my other funds which are doing way better. Of course it could change I know.

    All very interesting but I'm not sure how any of this is answering the OP's question.
    Did you really mean to put loose?
    Lose: no longer possess, not to retain, unable to find
    Loose: not firmly or tightly fixed in place
