savings schemes

caff

I noticed a few places advertising different saving and investment schemes now that the SSIAs are finishing, just wondering if anyone knows about them could advise which ones are best. If anyone has a list it would be nice or possible just people could post up ones they find to make a list here?

At the moment I would be looing to put in about minimum 150 a month for about 5 years, with the option of increasing that by 50~100 depnding on the situation at a given time.

~I already have a pension so this is just a shorter timeframe scheme for me

I was wondering which bank I heard that mentioned about.

top marks to the PR team for informing the public and 0 marks for actually putting the info on the site.

What are the *, **, ***, #, ## T&C's on that account like? I presume that it is like the AIB "bonus" rate which you only get after 5 years, and then it cycles back to a crappy ordinary rate?

Have you considered equity based savings?
