At the very least stick it in one or more high rate deposit accounts while you make up your mind on what to do longer term! See the Financial Best Buys forum for details of the latest product/rate offerings.just have 200k and have to invest it as it is getting nothing in a current account.
How can he guarantee 30% returns!?! Sounds like a totally speculative punt to me in the absence of further info. Any concentrated (e.g. investing in a handful of stocks in a specific grographic region, market sector etc.) will usually have a higher than normal risk/reward profile so you should be prepared for significant volatility. You should get independent, professional advice instead of listening to stuff like this in my opinion.was asked to invest in a managed fund for 2 years and the investment manager who i know personally said it will gain 30% but he would say that, they are investing in 5 irish blue chip companies and he said the dividends alone would be great but the deadline is in mid dec and i wont have my 200k till mid january.
Rabo are not any less secure than Irish banks. In fact it's possible that they are more secure. I'm not sure. And NR deposits are fully guaranteed. In fact the UK compensation scheme covers over twice what the Irish scheme covers under normal circumstances. Not sure about Rabo and whether they are covered by the Irish or Dutch (?) compensation scheme?yes i would be inclined to stick the money on a guaranteed deposit account with one of our major banks. not really interested in rabo and other online banks although rates might be a bit better i need total piece of mind will checkout the financial best buys now.
I hadn't read the previous threads. Thanks for the info about the Dutch compensation scheme.RaboDirect is covered by the Dutch Deposit Guarantee system. This has been discussed extensively on previous threads on AAM. Please see the [broken link removed] of the RaboDirect.ie website for more details about the scheme. The Dutch scheme currently offers protection for the first €20,000 and then 90% of the next €20,000 for an individual. There are examples on our website of how it works.
So their credit rating is tripe?Please also refer to the Investor Relations section of the Rabobank.com site for information about [broken link removed]. RaboDirect is the only Tripe A rated deposit taker in Ireland.
