Flexible Life Interest Trust Investing

I am the trustee, together with my brother in law, of my late wife's Will which she left in a Flexible Life Interest Trust. We want to invest a sum of money in the trust, possibly with an income for me, but we're not sure sure whether to invest in a Bond or something else.

    What are you trying to achieve?

    we're not sure sure whether to invest in a Bond or something else.
    Without knowing the terms of the trust, what you are trying to achieve and your tax position etc, we can't be sure either.

  • What we're trying to achieve is to put some money from the trust into a savings account or fixed rate bond so that the value of the money grows over the next year.

    'Bond' can mean many things.

    Presume you mean a fixed rate/term savings account ?( sometimes referred to as bonds but that can be confusing)
