HS Bloody C UK Growth & Income!

Hi all,

Very short Q, I have been paying £50 into the above since March 2002 and have "achieved" £4400 thus far. I've just woken up and realised that every web site I go on to details just how poor this fund is. Am I therefore making a wise move in moving all of my money out of it?

Cheers Mates

Graham

    Assuming it's a S&S ISA we're talking about make sure you transfer it and not simply remove it.

    Bog standard UK growth funds are largely rubbish. You are better off with a tracker or go with a focused UK growth fund (i.e. one with specific aims and not one that just invests in UK companies).

    Now you have over £4000 its the perfect time to transfer to a fund supermarket and go £1100x4 with four different funds focusing on different areas that average out to match your risk profile.

    Cashing it in would be a waste of ISA allowance.
