Cash ISA's are a joke. If length of time before you need the money >5 years, go low cost global index funds for ALL your ISA funds. Yes, they will go up and down but I am averaging 11%/year, I don't care if I never pay off my 2.5% mortgage....

Coventry BS have offered good cash ISA deals over the past couple of years. Their online banking though is something out of the 80s, analogically speaking.

After you have maxed out on ISAs, simply put your money in a range of low cost index funds.
Around 20% in higher risk funds.
Edit: I would pay off the mortgage first though, if you have one, odds are interest rates might rise.Last edited by sasguru; 26 October 2017, 10:13.

On reflection with the imminent interest rates rise I will probably pay off the £40K I was going to re-invest to paying off my mortgage instead - this will give me a mortgage of just £15K, which a couple of months gigging should pay off

Zopa 5.6-9.5% dependent on bad debtsOriginally posted by Wilmslow View PostTempted by the Virgin ISA bond - it is 2.4% and actually paying more than my mortgage. Is 5 years too long to tie up money or do you think that interest rates will soar before then?

Why won't you take Yer Local Mafia Neighbours ISA instead? They pay 20%, lend for 1000%
