Investing In The Uk
« on: September 13, 2007, 07:27 PM »

Hello friends,

I was hoping I could get information on some reliable mutual funds London. It’s almost as if, anywhere you go, if you don’t have £5,000, you can’t invest.
Please, someone here tell me I’m wrong because I can only hear the sound of coins in my pocket and I need to invest.
Cheers

For as little as £100, you can invest in premium bonds. It's tax-free but you don't get paid interest on your money. Rather, they hold prizedraws monthly and you could win up to 1 million pounds even if your bonds have been sitting idle for 10 years. For more guaranteed returns, you could opt-in for a Direct ISA which can be opened with a minimum of £1000 and has a minimum further deposit of £250. This attracts an interest rate of 6.30% AER and is tax-free up to a £3,000 balance. You can get more information on www.nsandi.com. Hope this helps.

Hi,
Naijacutee! Thanks for helping. From a glance, it appears that one would easily get a better deal in Nigeria? Noting that in Nigeria, with just N50, 000  IBTC  is willing to give their customers up to 30% growth rate annually. In fact, it looks like things are really going to get better because Aims is seeking to engage them in a competition. What is your view and experience on this? In the uk, it appears people are happy to escape the dreaded Uk taxes even if they'er not making real money. So if, as Halifax informs, inflation rate is 3% a year then what is the fate of those with little to invest if all they can achieve is run from tax only for inflation to give them a bite from the rear. Uk is not looking good I’m afraid.
I’m looking forward to some more useful information from you. Thanks again.
Regards Smiley

@Wind_1
Invest in forex and a pro trader will manage your fund for 3 months quadripling your initial investment capital or even yielding more.
These guys are traders and use western union to withdraw their commission, So western union charges 20% and the trader will take 50% of profit also the company that will send the western union will tale about 10%. That is the way you will pay tax if you invest in forex.This is no joke, they trade and make money more than any investment. The problem you will get is that they are trying to start taking 70% and give investors 30%, if you can talk nicely and convice them to take 50% and give you 50%, then you are in for the biggest suprise in your life.

Their website is      http://ballz.ababa.net/site/Welcome.htm

Yahoo Messenger email is : tzamse


You can invest 500$ for a trial or $100, but they may not accept your $100. just get in touch with them.

Well, I guess that's why it will always make more sense to invest in a developing country. People here will embrace anything tax-free, as the only thing you don't get taxed on here is air. Actually, that's wrong! You do get taxed on air - Council tax, which you have to pay to your local council. So there you go. . . I'm sure there are other means of investing here but then I suppose you need much more money to put down.

Those IBTC shares really sound like something! 30%? That's a ridiculous offer! The highest I've seen here so far was the Abbey ISA accounts earlier this year. The offered 8% interest on investments : But by law, for ISAs, the first £3,000 in an ISA is tax-free, after that, you have to settle the tax man. Apart from that, there were some other conditions attached e.g you have to put in a fixed amount every month etc.
