NS&I ..renew or not ?

99 Posts


I have NS&I index linked savings that mature this year.
They have made an amazing return over the last year due to high inflation.
However, should I renew ? as inflation will probably ease off over the next year meaning CPI will be lower next year than when I renew therefore possibly no CPI interest will be added next year and possibly even the following years

On every thread I've seen on here asking whether to renew these, the resounding consensus is 'yes', so don't see anything different about current circumstances that would give rise to an alternative view, unless you're aware of other ways of achieving capital-protected returns above inflation?
Most expect this current inflation spike to ease off, even so you're being offered a savings account currently paying 7%.
So factor in tax free interest.
Why would there be no index-linking for the first year of any reinvestment? If the terms are CPI then you'll get CPI. It doesn't matter if the CPI is slightly less than the CPI it used to be.
