The minimum investment is GBP 500 and maximum individual cash individual savings account (ISA) investment is GBP 3,600 (2009/2010 tax year).

Europe Bearish On Payrolls
LONDON -- It was all about the payrolls on Friday, as European traders cautiously positioned themselves ahead of key jobs data to be released from the United States. The Dow Jones Eurostoxx index of the region's 50 leading shares was down by 0.8% at 2,785.93 points in early afternoon trading on the continent, with London's FTSE 100 index down by 0.8%, the Paris Cac 40 1.1% and Frankfurt's Dax 0.6%. Concerns about Friday's payrolls report follows disappointing U.S. jobless claims data on Thursday. Economists say the U.S. unemployment rate could top 10% when the Labor Department issues its monthly jobs report at 8:30 EST, a level not seen since June 1983. European losses were particularly heavy in financials and technology, with Commerzbank ( CRZBY - news - people ) down by 4.4% in Frankfurt and the British insurer Legal & General ( LGGNY - news - people ) losing 5.7% in London. European markets also lacked some direction from Asia as mainland Chinese markets were closed for Golden Week celebrations. Hong Kong's Hang Seng, in any case, had closed 2.7% lower.

Monster Mining Deal Delayed
Inquiries from Australian regulators and opposition from institutional shareholders are the latest hurdles hindering China's Aluminum Corp. of China, better known as Chinalco, from raising its stake in Rio Tinto by July as planned.Australia's Foreign Investment Board announced Monday that it would extend its review of (nyse: ACH - news - people )'s $19.5 billion investment in (nyse: RTP - news - people ) for up to 90 days after the initial 30-day evaluation period closed. Treasurer Wayne Swan will make the final decision after the board's review. The delay in the government's approval further complicates the deal, which has already aroused strong opposition from Rio Tinto's institutional investors. The Australian Foundation Investment Co. has expressed deep concern over the state-backed Chinalco having two seats on Rio Tinto's 15-member board and becoming involved in running the mining company, fearing it may bring corporate governance problems and potential conflicts of interest over investment decisions. "Existing shareholders have not been given the opportunity to recapitalize the company," AFIC said in a presentation given to shareholders filed with Australian Securities Exchange on Monday. "Significant influence has been given to Chinalco with no premium paid." ...Click here to read the whole Article (external link)
Options Drying Up For Rio Tinto
Major shareholders of Rio Tinto are up in arms over the mining giant's proposed $19.5 billion deal with the Aluminum Corp. of China. But for all the discontent, Rio's other options to pay down its massive debt -- a rights issue or counterbids by BHP Billiton -- would likely raise much less than what the state-owned Chinese producer is putting up.Drama continued to unfold Monday after Rio unveiled its plan last week to sell $12.3 billion worth of stakes in key assets and $7.2 billion worth of convertible bonds to its largest shareholder, (nyse: ACH - news - people ), or Chinalco. A flurry of press reports suggest some Rio shareholders are throwing their weight behind a discounted share sale or a counter-offer from rival (nyse: BHP - news - people ), or otherwise pressuring Rio's board to amend the terms of the Chinalco deal.Those shareholders, such as Rio's second-largest investor, (other-otc: LGGNY - news - ...Click here to read the whole Article (external link)
