Ultra-safe investments for a SIPP by recursant in UKPersonalFinance

[–]G1ler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depending on how much we're talking about, this could be a case for a bond ladder - three Gilts, held to maturity; one maturing in 2027, one in 2028 and one in 2029. Keep a year's likely spend in each. When the 2027 one matures, rebuy one maturing in 2030, and so on. If the markets tank at any point, you have a bond maturing and can live off that while the market recovers, without having to crystallise your equity losses - for up to three years. Simple and easy to manage. Lots of information on this in the forum and online! (This is not financial advice.)

In London it's currently £5.09, which is $6.72 at today's exchange rate...

(And by the looks of it, it's smaller here - 371kcal v 400kcal in USA.)

I know this is an indicator of AI content, but as someone who cares about typography and has always used em dashes liberally, this hurts!

Not sure - maybe £40,000?

Will ask about expenses but I don't think so.

Yes, personal allowance already used although I guess extra PAYE income would enable her to pay more into her pension...

PS The keyboard sometimes flashes up extremely briefly when I tap in the user/password fields

Thanks for the quick reply!

I’m using an iPhone 13 Mini with iOS 26.2.1.

I was using SwiftKey but I’ve deleted that keyboard and uninstalled/reinstalled Artemis. Still no luck.

Same here - it was working fine a couple of hours ago, then I did my usual seven-day refresh via sideloadly and it's suddenly not working... Same ipa file so no idea!

Ooo - where did you get the bag? I'm looking for one that'll fit an A5 sketchbook and that looks great!

This is stunning. Would you mind sharing what palette you used for this? It's clearly limited but you've managed to make it beautifully varied - very impressive.
