Re: Training as a financial advisor - absolutely essential. Forget about RFC 2822 section 3.4.1, OSI 7 layer stack, etc. - it'll do you no good.

Proper contractors know about money first and foremost, technical stuff is secondary.

I know that, FFS asking anything on here is absolutely pointless.

I'm coming to the conclusion that the sort of people that become contractors are ******* idiots and @rseholes.

You need to calm down DP


Talk about Pot.......Kettle.etc.

You want a specific recommendation but are too tight to pay for financial advice and too lazy to research?
How about 'UBS Absolute Return Bond (Net) A Acc'.
Dont forget to send a postcard from your yacht in a year bought from the proceeds of your 'ISA fund' (sic).

Sorry, I've been so busy checking out RFC 2822 section 3.4.1 that I completely forgot to spend several years training as a financial adviser

Why dont you use a fund supermarket like Fidelity or use a broker like Hargreaves Lansdown rather than the Tesco value solution?
You can then pick from thousands of bond and gilt funds in an ISA wrapper.

Thank you.

If anyone sees any other Bond/Gilts ISA's to compare, please let me know.

No moron, I am asking specific question.

Bonds and/or gilts in an ISA wrapper.

If you don't know the answer, shut the **** up.

I have this in my isa wrapper with selftrade.

I want free money with no risk

Sadly, the value of investments can go down as well as up...

There is no such thing as a 'safe' fund.

Bonds / gilts will move in line with interest rates so unless you know what they will be doing in the future your stuffed.

Also, index linked gilts are a no go as the RPI inflation figure is made up by the Gov who also want to sell the product to you.

Cash wont keep up with inflation & tax in the long run.

Only thing to do is to buy real assets - either Shares or Property once that has finished it's fall.

When is the fall finished? Is it next Tuesday or Friday week?

Looking for an ISA fund that invests in "safe" (maybe gilts) bonds that return a good % and allow the full £7200 pa tax free?
