I have £40,000 to invest, I an currently retired and have a pension and savings to cover me for at least 5years, I am looking for low risk, high return investments (no surprise there then!). I have looked at Blackmore offering 9.9% over 5years..but look a bit dodgy, I've also looked at MJS Direct-Property-Investment offering 10%over 1 year. I do not want to lose my initial investment..is there anyone offering anything that is safe and at least above inflation?0

Essentially, I want to keep up to £10K in cash in case my VLS takes a nosedive... just wondering where best to put it. I am thinking £6K in 2 Tesco accounts at 3%, £2.5K in Nationwide at 5%, and the grand or two in my Santander 123 account.Eco Miser

If you do not want to loose your capital then expect to get 9.9% - 10% then you might have unreasonable expectation. Good luck then finding such product in the UK.
If you do not want capital at risk products then you will need to lower your expectation.0 -

Probably not, except high interest current accounts and regular savers.
Though come to think of it, if you are on the old-style State Retirement Pension you could look at Pension Deferral and at Pension Top-up.Free the dunston one next time too.0 -

If I understand the Virgin Money website correctly, this bank now has four different RS issues on sale simultaneously, each for up to £250 pm and paying 2.25% p.a.: Matchday E-Saver Online Issue 1, Matchday Saver Store Issue 1, Regular E-Saver Online Issue 3, and Regular Saver Store Issue 2.
I wonder why. Personally I'm approaching saturation point with this name: not sure if I'll go for the new 'Matchday' RS accounts.0 -
