No. Otherwise everyone would be using it.

If you find it, you've created the mythical money tree.

I (stupidly) missed out on the 7%pa over 3 years offer from Cashplus early in 2017. I have a couple of accounts with them and know many others who use them and they're well liked by their users. Certainly won't be failing anytime soon.

But didn't miss out on Dolphin Trust. That pays 10%pa and has done for years despite hyena howling from "experts" who want it to be a failure for some reason.

I hear that Dolphin won't be offering 10%pa for that much longer and that future offerings will be less. But 10%pa is still available and I can vouch that it's real because it gets paid into my account every 6 months.

There are others but I chose Dolphin because I'm familiar with what they actually do. Know some of their projects and they're really very good. Chances of failure? Tiny in my opinion.

This Dolphin https://www2.trustnet.com/Factsheets/Factsheet.asp... ?

Are those figures actually correct and if so, does it look as though Dolphin are paying out the investment rather than making a return as such?

Many thanks for this- exactly the type of investment I was looking for. Clearly, I need professional advice before I part with a penny but this is the type of investment I really like the look of!

The short answer is no, not without a level of risk.

You have to answer a very basic question which is if you put in £1000 now and you need it next weekend would you be happy if there were only £800 available?

If you are looking at any of these "too good to be true" schemes be sure to check if they're regulated or if, should they go bust, you aren't protected.

Yes, there are some underlying assets.
No, that doesn’t mean that your capital is secure or that the investment is low risk.
No, the investment is not regulated nor does it have the protections of the FSCS.

How much (roughly) are we talking?
