Halifax ISA Investor

[Deleted User]

Halifax ISA Investor provided by Scottish Widows.  Has anyone use this product before?

I am looking at reviewing my investment and saving with a view for putting money away for X number of years each month.

Has anyone any experience of ISA Investor and any of its eligible funds?

Just for now scoping options..I am also looking at HSBC Global

Thanks

I have had this account for a number of years and recently closed the account. I only invested in UK FTSE 100 and invested and sold a few times. Straight forward to operate apart from you have to telephone them when you want to sell and they quote 7 to 10 days to action, although I found it to be a much shorter time.

This is very old school. Most ISA's are operated on line and you can buy/sell in less than a minute.

Totally agree. You could request the sale in profit and with a sudden market crash you are at a loss.

ahh, the joys of how it used to be 30 years ago.

However, what you had and what the OP is referring to are different services.  The OP is referring to their robo-service.
