Thats an exceptionally base way of doing things but is entirely risk free... I would still suggest gov't bonds/gilts as the return is even better and risk even more minimal | |

on the premium bond note, my step dad has 25ks worth, he has on a min of 50 a month for 5months, 2 of them 5 have been 200 and 1 at 100...pretty good return tbh | |

that what i mean, with money destined for a mortage i would guess low risk (y) | |

25k over 18months with a decent stockbroker would return a lot more than interest on the mortgage. But saying that it is probably more risk than he would want. | |

Pretty short term all round really... certainly if the end point is to put it against the mortgage, as said, may as well just pay it off now as the interest on that will be more than you are going to make in most circumstances inside of 18 mths | |

UK or US Government bonds - THE highest return money can buy with virtually no risk at all... | |

Premium bonds - no risk as you get your money back at the end and the more you have the more chance you have to win money. | |

The thing is cosmo, its only going to be for 12-18months...then it's being chucked at reducing the mortgage. | |
