It's very interesting and not something I often think about. Probably increasingly relevant in a world of globally diversified investments. We use Vanguard Target Retirement products which have quite a heavy UK tilt, even 75% of their equities are ex-UK!3

😱 Yes please
I don't normally need instructions for how to drink alcohol, but OK....

If I ever get as far as actually reaching payout on Pinecone, I think they will be going. I'm not sure that giving my honest opinions on completely ridiculous product ideas is very good for my blood pressure 😅!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

Well that's what I thought I'd seen others say about it as well 🤷♀️! I've currently got 700 points and it doesn't appear that I can get anything for less than 1000 points, which is worth a £10 voucher. The front screen also says cash is an option, but I'm b*ggered if I can find it in amongst the dizzying array of vouchers 🤷♀️🤷♀️🤷♀️!Mortgage start: £65,495 (March 2016)

I agree about it not being good for blood pressure - and I gave it up fairly recently when trying to change my email address. But yes, you should be able to cash out for £3 - either as cash or as a voucher.Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days
