You can get 8pc with something like first direct regular saver if you just want to squirrel away a few grand for a rainy day.
Indeed.But you can only pay in £300 per month maximum.
And you have to keep the money in the account for 12 months or else you lose the interest.
And even on that basis, the interest accrued would be £1.26

come on guys you are all just shotting letters and terms at me lol, im not very clued up with finance
Simple terms, Risk. How worried would you be if you lost half the money, how much do you want to gamble.Cash ISA low risk, money is safe, but you wont make more than your interest.
Invest in ISA stock, shares or bonds, you may double your money or lose the lot. Higher risk. risk.
ISA means you don't pay tax on profits.

What if the assets fell by 5% over the period?

Not sure why I am getting attacked here. I said that 0.50 is poor return. Personally, I would lump it into Stocks and Shares as the OP said he wanted it out the way. Yes, there is a risk but im pretty sure you would see a greater return than it being in the bank?

Sorry, but at no point has the OP said what risk profile he would fall under.

You are 'pretty sure' that he would get a better return over a 3 day period??Not sure why I am getting attacked here. I said that 0.50 is poor return.

You could easily lose 5% or more over a 3 day period.
Equities would be expected to provide a better return over a long period (5 - 10 years) - the factsheet for the Spectrum product you referred to emphasizes the strategy to provide long-term growth, not short-term income.

You could easily lose 5% yes, you could also gain %, going by how the fund is currently growing at the moment it's not likely - however, never say never. I appreciate your points your making. We also need to be clear that he's not going to make thousands in three days, which is where you think I am coming from.

The fund has had plenty of negative days in the last few months.Oh, and the fund has a 5% initial charge and 1.25% amc....

i dont know if i would like to lose any money tbh, ive worked hard to save it so i think low risk is for me
No one 'likes' to lose money.It's about weighing up the chance of making vs chance of losing.
You will make a couple of quid in your ISA.
For the amount of time you spent setting it up - carrying out the transfer...and now coming on here and asking about the 50p interest you received...you would have been better off just working for an hour instead IMO.
The days of letting money grow in ISA's/savings accounts are long gone - all offer sub inflationary returns.
