Correct, an ISA also has the advantage that you do not need to worry about reporting any gains, interest or other income. However, don't take my word for it, do your own research to confirm.

I've just received a couple of emails from Darwinex about new Terms and Conditions effective 24th July 2023 Important points to note: €10 monthly inactivity fee for dormant accounts. Inactive trading accounts will be closed. Client Agreement - extract 27 ACCOUNT INACTIVITY 27.1 Where you are...

I think with interest rates picking up (especially here in the UK) a Darwin portfolio will really struggle to beat a risk-free return.

OK, this is extremely cynical, but do you think there are any?

Hi Sharky, not for me, I prefer asynchronous, just check in now and again to see what's occurring. Very grateful for what you do here (y)
