    A simple basic rule of thumb first filter, that helps avoid high risk and scam investments is when the yield is
                                                       FTSE 100 yield x 2= Leave it alone.
                                                        Current FTSE 100 yield= 2.65%

    1. This investment  (FTSE 100 yield) x 3 = 7.95% , which means I for one would not touch it.

    2. Would this be the website you where looking at? If so Scam Doc suggests caution.

    It's easy to provide 8% income for some time, if you are prepared to forget about the safety of your original capital.
    It's even easier to provide 8% pa income if you're drip feeding people back their own capital. Just saying ... obviously that merry-go-round will stop well before 12 years, for what should be mathematically obvious reasons.

    But in the meantime they hope you tell all your friends and family about the amazing returns you're getting in those first couple of years!!!!
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - 12 month spends to date = 2.60% of current retirement "pot" (as at end May 2025)

    Sounds like  a pyramid scheme. I think greed and ultimately capitalism is at fault though

    1st post and it's about investing in caravans with 8% return... I'm calling scam. This thread should be deleted.

    Indeed, so not only will MSE forum members searching for Landal Belvedere find their way here, but the Google indexing engine will direct those looking there for information about Landal Belvedere to this thread too.  I don't know how often people search for Landal Belvedere though....

    Problem is, the lawyers will get involved, hide behind defamation and take the thread and delete. has happened quite often unfortunately in this litigious world now
