Investment Strategy for 2017
I would welcome peoples input on where your money should be for 2017. I know this has been a subject for debate in recent threads but would like some constructive input. Why do you invest in certain things and not in others..my take is ....
Equity Investment...only for those who are willing to see a downturn in the short term Gilts and Bonds - Great for a fixed income but likely to lose capital Premium Bonds- Hold short term cash here but dont expect a great return Unit Trusts - Good start for the new investor- mix income and capital growth Savings Account - flexible but not a lot of scope for income or capital growth Peer to peer - too risky for me but great potential Property - probably good for income but not great if you need liquidity and I think we have covered pork bellies and wheat options somewhere else Looking forward to hearing other peoples views |

I've always gone for the least worrisome option ..........so for me I put money in the building society because it's safe and I don't need to think about it and it earns some interest
I'd rather it earned a bit less interest than spend time thinking and worrying about where to invest it to earn a bit more........

Not sure if this is what you're interested in but this year I plan on investing in myself.
I've got a business plan that's looking pretty good, the capital to invest in stock, I'm already working on the website which is looking great, and I've enlisted a great friend who can help be realize it. All in all I'm feeling really positive about it. ![]() I don't want to go into too much detail at the moment, you understand. |

Depends how much money and what you want from it and how much risk you can handle.
I can't be arsed with anything fancy and like to minimise risk as far as possible. I'm not that bothered about making a big profit in the 2017-18 tax year as long as I make some profit, and that profit doesn't require me to have to pay tax. |
