financial requirment

Hi, we invested some money in Premium bonds. Can we show them to extend my visa as a cash saving or we need to keep them in the bank for 6 month prior to application ?

It need to be converted into cash then deposited in bank for 6 months.

Thank you for your reply. I found this :
If you are relying on cash savings via an investment, you must show that:
•You have owned the shares for a period of 6 months prior to the date of your application.
•The value of your investment is equivalent to the necessary cash savings required.
•The investment can be in the form of stocks, shares, trust funds or a bond.

I have read that the money should be in cash and I can use it anytime ( with sanction or without).
Premium Bonds are a savings account you can put money into (and take out when you want).
Is there any list where the ECO will rely on ?
