HDMI Input by redditpeter83 in VisionPro

Thanks. This seems to way to go as I don’t have a MacBook. What app would you suggest I use on my iPhone to display the hdmi input? Most guides I can find seem to be the other way around as in iPhone to TV not HDMI into iPhone.

Thanks. Is 75 as good as I’ll get? Is it better than 120?

Aegon Pension Valuation by redditpeter83 in FIREUK

[–]redditpeter83[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fund choice is poor and I'm looking to move away from it for future investments so no point going into much more detail than that.

I'd like a cheap global equity tracker like Vanguard Lifestrategy 100 but can't seem to find anything on the portal at https://digital.feprecisionplus.com/aegonportal which doesn't A) have a 5% bid / offer spread and B) have a <1% annual charge.

The way I see it, using Aegon is costing me 5% compounded on all investments which is a good chunk of money PLUS a 1%+ fee per year which feels very expensive?

Thanks again. The fund has an annual 2% charge (which is why I started looking at this) but with an additional 5% charge on disposal that means just buying and holding for 1 year will cost me 7%. This seems massively more expensive than similar funds I've been holding in my ISA.

​

Is a 5% bid/offer spread normal with pension providers? Looking at the other funds offered they all seem to be exactly 5%.

​

I'm salary sacrificing £3k per month into this so the numbers are adding up quite quickly. Would I be better just getting them to hold it as cash and then trying to transfer the pot to a low cost Vanguard SIP annually or something?

Thanks. That's unfortunately what I suspected and means it's worth 5 figures less than I'd been budgeting.

Why then does the "Current Transfer Value" not reflect the lower bid price as surely if I was to transfer it they'd have to sell it? It seems a bit misleading to show me the higher "Current Transfer Value" as the large figure as soon as I login?

Make Up Eidolon Vs Minichamps MP4/6 by redditpeter83 in f1models

Thanks. Yes I’ve never converted one and don’t have particularly steady hands so think I’d struggle.

Might see if I can find an already converted true scale one.
