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
