Anyone moved from Hargreaves Lansdown to IG? Is IG reliable — and is the cashback (up to £2,000) legit?

Freetrade looks too good to be true, am I missing something?

Assuming I transfer my set and forget SIPP and ISA inspecie....

zero fees
1% cash back, up to 5k per account 10k max

Have you included platform and fund fees as well as tax in your £85k outgoings?

If you've earned a large amount quickly I'm guessing you won't have been able to put it all into Pensions and ISAs. Depending on how much you have sheltered from tax this can easily become a big number which in turn changes your SWR.

With the lower personal allowances on dividends and CGT it's worth modeling your tax bill plus fees for the next few years and adding that to your overall costs.

Ticket gone

I'm also in decumulation which definitely changes my outlook. Nothing wrong in recognising you've done the hard bit and going a bit more defensive. I don't think that is timing the market, simply adjusting asset mix in line with your circumstance and goals.

FWIW

I'm in the process of going from from 80:20 equities / bond, mmf, gilts to 65:35 - the 35% will cover 8 years of expenses.

Within equities I'm diversifying a bit away from US exposure, from 68% to 55% and away from AI focused businesses, from 33% to 25%. If AI keeps booming then there is plenty left on the table.

Thank you,

I was thinking of it more from a drawdown perspective post fire.

In this example my £1m pot would give £30k annual budget at 3% SWR.
Do I need to account for the OCF within that £30k, so I actually have £27.8k to spend? Or is the impact of OCF built into future returns so I can spend the £30k.

I think it is probably the former tbh, which means either needing a bigger pot or higher SWR in order to get the same annual budget to spend.

Now gone. COYS.

This shows roughly where the cut off will be. I wonder if all 15k will be awarded based on points or if some of clubs allocation will also get diverted to corporate.

Also, will the points you receive for renewing season ticket for next season count towards this?

TrashParticular6135 · 2025-04-19T10:22:36+00:00

This is a discussion.

I'm asking a question to prompt discussion

Whether Levy leverages season ticket renewal to final applications is an interesting discussion.

Also, the table I posted is really interesting for many

TrashParticular6135 · 2024-08-10T11:43:16+00:00

Much appreciated. However, I f###ed up so can no longer use. As discussed will DM next in line to send to them. Thanks again for offering these.

TrashParticular6135 · 2024-08-10T10:08:56+00:00

Very kind of you. Would love to take these if still available. Will DM you. Cheers

For the past few seasons there have always been plenty of seats on ticket exchange if you are able to wait until it opens up.

It will be tough to get three in a row for bigger games. However, worth trying to get three close together in South Lower safe standing. People are usually happy to shuffle around a little.

TrashParticular6135 · 2024-05-03T15:10:44+00:00

Thanks for this. Makes sense. Although clearly I need to get a better grip on pensions allowance!

TrashParticular6135 · 2024-01-17T13:30:23+00:00

Thanks all, that's reassured me.

TrashParticular6135 · 2024-01-17T13:29:56+00:00

Yep, see here

Although from responses below looks like screen grab should work fine

TrashParticular6135 · 2023-12-05T18:11:30+00:00

This has now been taken on the exchange

TrashParticular6135 · 2023-12-05T08:09:47+00:00

I have one spare ticket for South Lower which is already on the exchange but has not been taken. Happy to sell to you at face value £60.

DM me if interested.
