Good deal?
The first thing to be very clear about when considering this sort of offer, is whether you are comfortable mixing upfront incentives with long term investment decisions. If you view the incentive as part of the overall investment package (including fees, expected returns, relative risk, etc) then incentives can be great – just don’t be blinded by them.
The next thing to consider is whether Nutmeg’s investment options best suit your needs. This will depend on a large range of personal financial factors which will vary from person to person, but it is worth noting that ‘YourMoney’ voted Nutmeg the best online Stocks and Shares ISA provider in 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019.
In other words, if you are looking to invest, Nutmeg is a serious player (managing over £2 billion on behalf of over 80,000 investors) and is definitely worth paying close attention to. That does not necessarily mean though that it’s always going to be the right ‘fit’ for you, so always check out alternatives too.
Similarly, while the Avios offer is potentially very generous, it is also worth looking to see whether Nutmeg might be offering cashback or other options that suit your requirements better.
Bottom line
We have heard from many readers in the past who have had an excellent experience investing with Nutmeg and there is no doubt that the chance to earn up to 300,000 Avios is eye-catching. As with all investments though, take the time to work out what is best for you before leaping in.
