The issue is limited though as will be closed once the required level of savings has been invested.

Some banks are offering much better interest rates on new products but not offering these to old customers....so look to move your ISA if you are being paid a pitiful amount of interest.

If you look at world demand, it's going down. The only people buying gold are investors. Which makes it a lottery. Could keep going up, or could pop. Two more things to consider to beat inflation - equities, which grow earnings ahead of inflation over time, and commercial property REITS or similar, where the value of the properties held will tend to increase with inflation over time.
