@Ducati996R Yes we can, drop me a message at nik.burrows@cobensdirect.co.uk Cheers

@Nik-Burrows said in New Portfolio Switching Changes?: @xera Unless otherwise instructed and agreed the switch will be processed on the next switch date i.e. the 1st or the 14th of the month Cheers Thanks that answers it for me.

@Ducati996R A SIPP withdrawal takes a little longer as it needs to run through FCA questionnaires, Payroll and HMRC An ad hoc withdrawal 4 weeks, if you set up a regular income after the initial set up it just pays out each month Drop me a message and I can walk you through the process to make it as smooth as possible Cheers

You're kidding Weekends are busier than the work week. Have a good weekend too

It’s performed well, Pete. Its valuation is too extreme for me, though. Corning, Marvell, AVGO are also in the mix re photonics, optical/laser transceivers.

Thanks Nik, for the update above and the emails. Seems that a few things have coincided, leading to me finding the process a little confusing, but hopefully that will all resolve soon.

yes of course. The Target Date only maps the portfolio. Thereafter it's up to 'you'. Add, withdraw subject to wrapper of course(SIPP), switch to something else. To be clear you are not locked-in in anyway

fyi... Winterflood Business Services (WBS) is a UK financial infrastructure provider with about £17.5bn in assets under administration and around 61 institutional clients, supporting a much wider downstream network of platforms, brokers and wealth managers. It sits behind major UK investment platforms rather than serving end investors directly. Clients include well-known wealth and platform firms such as Fidelity International, Transact, Quilter, Aviva, and other adviser platforms and brokers that outsource custody, dealing, settlement and reporting to WBS.

You're keen trying that on a phone screen

The Amazon<>Anthropic deal looks interesting ! Happy to see Anthropic forking nicely from openai....

Updated for me too. Thanks Adam and everyone else. I'm happy to wait a few hours for updates as healthy as that one....

Oracle has expanded its partnership with Bloom Energy to secure up to 2.8 gigawatts (GW) of Bloom’s fuel cell systems to support the growth of its AI data centre infrastructure. For perspective, 2.8GW is enough to power 7 million UK homes! A staggering amount of energy.

All changed now so all is well.

Heh heh!

I've just gone in - no problems....

To wrap this up: BIG thanks to @Nik-Burrows for helping kick Quai/IM into sorting things, the task is complete Note to selves - we will do our sums earlier next year to avoid stress, & hopefully the process will be slick with everyone having learned something!

In a blog post today Meta Platforms (META) has increased the investment for its data centre campus in El Paso, Texas, to $10B from $1.5B. They aren't playing.

It's a great business albeit not that exciting-safe and durable. Their scale and reach opens them up to finding something to complain about-at the end of the day they are a business, they have millions of customers. Some won't be happy customers. Apple gets a lot of flack from some too. Ive always found them a pleasure to deal with. In saying that ive never had a piece of expensive hardware fail prematurely and tried to get some goodwill but I have dealt with their support relating to products many years outside warranty(without Apple Care) and always found them helpful.
