CNA are hedged outside UK, not sure if NG are even more a pawn of gov politics

NG are also active in the US, so they've also got diversification outside the UK. NG are in regulated areas everywhere they operate, so it is a trade off between more certainty (their UK regulatory agreement looks to run until 2021) and what is essentially more political control.

I know CNA sold some of them but I think it had more assets outside UK then NG. They have a nice import deal from usa to uk, one of the first available

I was bought some BT shares by a relative as a child and am looking to offload them now. I already have an equiniti account so thought I'd just transfer them into electronic shares before selling them. Does anybody have any idea how long this process should take?

sabretoothtigger

If you have a share certificate, sell them via xo and it should be alot cheaper. Any broker will transfer in paper certs I think

I am thinking about investing not more than about £300 (very much small time invester)
I own some (few) Standard Life shares, which I think are paper shares. (have paperwork somewhere), and all small dividends are reinvested in more shares. Thats the extent of my experience
Anyway, how does an inexperienced person buy a very small amount of shares?
I bank with Halifax/BOS and I see that they have a share dealing account. Would this be a good option?
Thanks in advance.

I advise do your research before committing your money into shares especially if you only have a small amount to invest.

However to simply answer your question, I use X-O to buy shares, it costs £6 to buy and £6 to sell with no other fees. I think starting with a fantasy portfolio would be a good start.

Just to update you on this. The other drivers insurer/solicitor (its not entirely clear to me which category they fall into!) is now in contact with the rental company and their insurer. I've been informed that I am liable for my entire £1,000 excess - but at least I don't have the hassle of having to sort it all out personally.

Thanks again for all your advice.

If anyone is up for a bit of fun with money you can get for nothing then the cashback site Imutual has started a share club for cashback members and you can only use cashback earn't to fund it.

With daily click monies this can be a bit of share fun with none of your own actual cash.
