Stocks and shares ISA - low risk, low maintenance option?
Discussion
I am deciding on what to do with my savings from the start of the new tax year.
I have paid my mortgage off and I currently have 2 different cash ISAs with about £10k in each. I'm looking to continue saving £1000/month from April. The Cash ISA rates are pretty dire, so I have been looking into Stocks & Shares ISAs as an alternative.
Most of the comments have been around selecting the right funds and ensuring you don't pay too much for transaction fees, etc. It all sounds a bit high maintenance!
Is there such a thing as an easy, low maintenance S&S ISA that I could put money into and leave alone for a few years? Something like a relatively low risk collection of FTSE100 companies where you don't need to make any further transaction and you could get a typical return of 5%?
If this is available, where can I arrange this?
Thanks
