Granted - though we will need to discuss what composition the less risky fund should take and we may want to consider going back to the banking sector as part of a longer-term choice. Lloyds is bound to come into discussion if that's the case. ..but yes you are absolutely right that a new vote to buy shouldn't include Lloyds, so long as we want to pursue this suggested overall approach.

Rumblings from everyone who has seen the idea so far are positive but I'd like some more members to have their say before I feel it can go to a vote without some tweaks. To this end - I will send a message to all members.

Its the best idea proposed so far and seems to have merit (in my view) therefore happy to move forward.

Sorry I missed your post earlier today as a number came in quickly...

Not sure I fully understand the question as I don't know which pot you are talking about but this is how I see it working:

- money currently invested in shares forms the opening pot for the less risky investments
- the cash we have at hand goes straight into the new riskier investment pot, so we have some money to begin investing
- new investment funding comes in and is invested on a 50/50 basis, so both pots will get the same level of newly invested imutual cashback funds for the trial year
- any proceeds from sales go back to the pot the sold share was in
pieman wrote:b) Does this then mean that the value our in our existing portfolio is 'locked' into the safe fund - and we can only use this to buy 'safe' shares ?
Yes this is the case, so as to offset some concerns of some members about going a bit too far into risk. There is £1300+ in cash available to invest in the riskier fund, so that should be plenty to get started. It represents just over approximately 1/5 of the total cashback investment received into the Club to date.

I have also been able to vote without any issues.

Maybe a good idea to PM CIC Members to inform them of an active poll?

I see one member has voted against this but has not commented before or now about what they feel is a problem about it. If that member would share their views it would be most appreciated :thumbup:

Purely for the purpose of evaluation.

If the said member does not want to be identified, please give a commentary on the choice by PM to Garindan and he will post your anonymous statement in full.
