Investments are designed to be held for a longer term, usually at least 5 years. You need to be comfortable with tying up this money for a period of time and should not consider investments unless you have some savings in place.
Savings and investments are essential for financial planning, though they serve different purposes. Savings provide a readily accessible safety net for specific needs, emergencies, or planned purchases, typically held in bank accounts where your capital is guaranteed and may earn interest.
Investments, on the other hand, are long-term financial commitments, typically held for at least five years. While they offer the potential for higher returns, they come with increased risks and volatility, and the capital is not guaranteed. Investments should only be considered once sufficient savings are in place to cover short-term needs.
Note: The value of investments may fluctuate, and you could get back less than your initial investment.
Investment funds pool capital from multiple investors, enabling individuals to collectively purchase securities and create diversified portfolios that might otherwise be out of reach. These funds are professionally managed by experts who make day-to-day investment decisions aimed at growing the fund’s value over time.
Diversification is a key strategy used by fund managers to manage risk. By spreading investments across different assets or companies, losses in one area can potentially be offset by gains in another. For instance, investing in both a t-shirt company and a woolly jumper company ensures that changing market conditions, like weather, don’t disproportionately affect returns.
Note: All investments carry some level of risk, and their value can rise or fall. You may not recover the full amount originally invested.
Investment funds consist of various assets selected based on their unique characteristics. Professional fund managers evaluate these features and make decisions to align with the fund's specific goals and objectives.
Funds are often grouped into sectors, reflecting their focus on geographical regions (e.g., UK or Japanese companies) or industries (e.g., technology). Some funds diversify further, combining equities, property, and bonds into balanced managed portfolios.
While returns from investments cannot be guaranteed, professional expertise and sector-specific insights help maximise the potential for achieving the fund’s objectives.
Investments come in various forms, each with distinct characteristics, risks, and potential returns. Here are the key areas:
Bank Accounts
Flexible options like current accounts provide immediate access to funds but offer low interest. Savings accounts and notice accounts may offer higher rates but often require notice periods for withdrawals.
National Savings & Investments
Government-backed and low-risk, these products are often tax-free, making them a secure option for cautious investors.Bonds & Gilts
Corporate and government bonds are generally lower-risk than equities. High-quality bonds (AAA to BBB) offer stable returns, while lower-rated "junk" bonds have higher yields but increased risk. Gilts provide secure but lower returns, backed by the government.Property
Commercial property investments can diversify a portfolio and offer income through rents. While property values may fluctuate, rental agreements often include long-term, upward-only clauses. Liquidity can be an issue when selling property investments.Equities (Shares)
Historically, equities have delivered strong long-term returns. However, they carry higher risks and no guarantees of success, making them suitable for experienced investors.Investment Funds
Managed by specialists, funds pool investments to spread risk across multiple assets like equities, bonds, or sectors (e.g., FTSE 100 or technology). They offer diversification and are tailored to specific objectives.
Choosing the Right Investment
An adviser can help you navigate the vast range of options, including tax-efficient products like ISAs or pensions.
Note: Investment values can rise and fall, and returns are not guaranteed. Seek professional advice to find the best options for your needs.
