Investment Options
There are so many different mediums in which to invest, here we look at a few key areas:
Bank Accounts
National Savings & Investments
THE FINANCIAL CONDUCT AUTHORITY DOES NOT REGULATE NATIONAL SAVINGS & INVESTMENT PRODUCTS
Bonds & Gilts
The income yield that is available from fixed income investments varies according to the quality of stock. Lower quality (junk or non-investment grade) stock usually offers a higher yield to attract investors (as they may be otherwise put off by the increased risk/volatility) whilst gilts generally offer much lower returns, they are underwritten by the government and so the risk of default is much reduced.
Property
Added to the rental incomes, property has the added attraction of potentially appreciating in value over time, and although property values do fall, the ‘bricks and mortar’ assets of a fund remain. However, returns from a property fund are not guaranteed and the value of any investment can fall as well as rise.
Furthermore, because of the nature of property as an asset, it may not always be possible to immediately switch or cash in your investment, because the property in the fund may not always be readily saleable. If this is the case, then a fund manager may defer your request to cash in for a period of time. You should bear in mind that the valuation of property is a matter of the valuer’s opinion, rather than a matter of fact.
Equities (shares)
Investment ‘Funds’
All these types of investment are available through your financial adviser. You may be able to include your investment within a tax-efficient product such as an ISA (Individual Savings Account) or a pension. There is a vast array of products available, and choosing the most suitable one can be difficult, your adviser will be able to help you decide which are suitable for you.

We Work With Brands We Believe in…
Past performance should not be taken as a guide to future performance. The underlying value of investments, and the income from them, can go down as well as up, and you may not recover the full amount of your original investment.
