Hi,
Hope i'm in the right place for this!
Currently I buy £75 worth of shares from the company I work for. To be able to clain these tax free they have to stay within the plan for a minimum of 5 years. What I am wondering is, are there better schemes to put my £75 a month into that will give a better return than company shares?

Hi, there,
If this is the only investing you are planning to do then I would proceed with caution. Firstly, if anything goes wrong with the company then both your job and your investment could be in trouble. Secondly, holding shares in just one company is inherently very risky - you really need to spread your investments a little more widely.
A collective scheme such as a global generalist investment trust might be worth a look.0 -
Ok thanks for that, i will give them a look and see what is on offer.
