Premium bonds are also worth considering. For instant access you won't get better atm, depending on your luck of course, and I was very lucky last month  |
I did OK last month as well, in fact the best month in 10 years or so of owning them. Not sure about the stocks and shares ISA's at the moment. I have one of the "safer" ones based more on a higher percentage of bonds and it has tanked over the last 14 months, my son has the riskier high share percentage which is faring somewhat better (but still -ve interest). Can't understand why bonds are suddenly doing so badly when they're normally very reliable. Bit like the mortgage market, seems to have spiralled downwards for inexplicable reasons
