Last week RPI crept up to 4.1 per cent, thanks largely to higher interest rates and mortgage repayments. This means that savers with index-linked certificates are now receiving a return of 5.45 per cent. Given that this is tax-free, higher-rate taxpayers would have to get a gross rate of 9.08 per cent to be better off. "
A good safe bet once you've already ploughed enough into gold, energy and BRIC funds.
