Hey 🇬🇧 🐠,
Has anyone ever invested in an EIS or VCT?
It appears to be very tax efficient and was wondering if any had any experience (returns, good fund manager, ...)to share ?

No direct experience but my question would be have you maxed out your pension contributions? If you want something more personalized perhaps SIPP? ISAs?

Thanks A&M1.
Pension maxed to get company’s contribution. Not keen on doing more for different reasons.
ISA maxed each year.

Fair enough but EIS/VCT are inherently more risky I'd imagine. Pension limit is 40k so I'm sure that could be allocated to more risky investments via SIPP?

Hey, new to investing looking at initial mistakes I made. I have $1k in VOO, $7k in VT and $4k in VTI in my brokerage acct; in my Roth IRA I have $6k in VT and $7.7k in VTI. I know isn’t an ideal portfolio because many of these funds overlap. However I’m in for the long term and am willing to reposition to a strategy that will do the best over my life. Id appreciate to hear feedback on these 2 accounts and better approaches from others. Thanks!

Let’s say you have two young, high income partners in a couple who want to buy a house together but don’t really care to get married. They already live together in an apartment but both want to move to a house to build equity and have a yard, not share walls, etc. Should one partner buy the house and the other pays rent until they get married, or should they get a mortgage together without being married? I realize there isn’t a “right” answer but I’m interested in people’s experiences here.

Hello Fishes,

I have 2 offers in hand currently -
1. CGI - 25LPA +1L JB
2. Neev systems - 23LPA (5%VP)

Neev systems is ready to negotiate it with CGI. And both companies have their own benefits.

Neev's hike is good compared to CGI(almost double) & CGI have some additional perks like cab facility, Creche allowance, mobile, internet bills reimbursements and additional 5% shares.

Both might have similar WLB (12-9pm).

My DOJ is tomorrow, unable to decide between them. Pls help me!!
