Investments
Have you received an inheritance or built up a substantial capital sum and wonder what is the best investment medium for this? After setting aside a fund in a bank or building society to meet any unexpected expenses it makes financial sense to consider alternatives for this capital.
Although interest rates have increased slightly the returns on offer from banks or building societies are not attractive to the medium to longer term investor.
To achieve a “real return” on your capital it makes sense to consider equity related investments. This could be an investment in shares, or by investing in products offered by Life Assurance Companies or Investment Houses. This could involve investing in unit trusts, investment trusts, OEICs or Investment Bonds.
The most important thing to consider in any investment is what degree of risk you are prepared to accept and do you understand the degree of risk you are taking. It is possible to have little or no risk right up to very high risk.
How long can you invest this capital for and do you require an income now or perhaps in the future?
Please remember that past performance is no guide to future performance and the price of units and the income from them can go down as well as up.
