I eventually took the plunge with these ETF's , just dived in and bought a few Ishares ones , emerging markets , MSCI world and MSCI Europe , tbh I don't know why I waited so long . Went with Saxobank in the end and put 30k in , bought 4 ETF's checked in a few days and they where worth 29k , now they are back up to 30k . Been a gambler I am actually more prepared for losses than I realised , losing the full 30k is so unlikely but even if I lost 50% of my whole portfolio in a day I don't think i would get too down about it.
I spent so long reading about the tax and the 8 year rule of selling them in the end i just decided i'm going to do nothing , when its nearly 8 years i'll ring revenue and hopefully it will be less complicated then.
I'm going to add 5k a quarter now to my ETF's , just keep topping them up for the next 8 years anyway and see how that goes.
