Yes, they're up a bit. But the dividends are still good.
And they're quite low volatility stocks price wise.0 -
5% will get you £150 a year interest
You could consider premium bonds - you might get less than £150 or you might get lucky and get more - maybe even a lot more. It will be a bit of fun each month as well.0 -
Thanks all. The original intention with the ISA was for it to be a long term investment but tbh, I don't really know what I'm doing with stocks and shares, and the rise in interest rates makes me nervous. I think I'd rather have the money safely tucked away in a high interest account while they're available. Premium bonds are an interesting idea! It might be fun to stick a couple of hundred pounds in and see what happens...1

With £200 probably, very probably, nothing3

For me, I'd be aggressively shuffling that cash around investment platforms with free cashback, current accounts with free cashback, and cashback sites with finance offers of free cashback. Wealthify, Moneyfarm, InvestEngine, HSBC, Nationwide, Lloyds, First Direct, Topcashback, etc, etc. Deals will come and go. But, I reckon I could turn that £3,000 into £4,000 after 2 years, delivering a 40-70% pretax return.
Not advice. Dyor, etc.0 -
