Hi guys, A few of you know I was an IFA before retiring due to ill health.... but I "keep my hand in" investing my pension fund, ISa's etc for myself and my family. Those of you with a SIPP or ISA might want to check out the following fund... Fundsmith Equity Accumulation. I have invested in that fund through Hargreaves Lansdown and Halifax Sharedealing. you can also invest through Fidelity I believe. Past Performance over 5 years... 2012 - 12.6% If you invested £1000 in January 2012, it would be worth £2591 now. Okay... Past Performance is no guide to the future, but it gives you a guide! Check it out yourself....

Wouldn't touch it now Hoof, having been in it ourselves till now. If we're seeing the beginning of the reversal of globalisation (which I think we are) then the biggest sufferers price wise will be the very companies that have benefitted from it in the past (i.e. a lot of the global mega-cap type companies in Fundsmith). True, it's a common mistake to over-estimate what happens in the next two years but underestimate what happens in the next ten, but I reckon you should be reducing your holding now, not increasing. The Complacency Index is at an all-time high. That in itself is a short term worry. If you're going to stay long the market, look at themed ETFs such as Cyber Security and Robotics and Automation. They're themes that aren't going away in the coming years.
Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry. |

It's one of my best performers mezzer that's for sure, but at most I have less than 10% of it in my overall portfolio right now.

Bitcoin.........around $3 in 2012, $1100 TODAY!!!!! Many views expressing the 10k mark by the end of this year whether it receives (soon) its ETF approval or not. Bitcoin is not going away. The two deliberately surpressed precious metals; Gold......1.6 BILLION Muslims about to join the party due to change in Sharia Law at the end of March. Along with others, China are buying silly amounts and Germany just repatriated theirs from the IOUSA.

Not recommendations because we're not allowed to do that of course, but funds such as ETF SEcurities Cyber Security (ISPY ticker) and ETF Securities Robotics and Automation (ROBG ticker) would be the kind of places to look. There's an iShares Ageing Population ETF as well (that's what it's called) that appeals to old gits like me. Bearing in mind a comment I read recently that the last time the world looked like this was just before World War 2, and before that just before World War 1, TUXs gold shout isn't the worst one either. Bit soon to go all in gold to my mind though.

Bit soon to go all in gold to my mind though. A fair comment as in ''not all in'', but after 5000+ yrs of being recognised as real money, it's still going strong (despite the hatred/rhetoric from the Central Banks and their owned media). For example (all round figures). In 1970 the average weekly wage in the UK was around £30pw. Had someone then put half their weekly wage in pound notes in a box and put in another one ounce of Gold, their value today would be........... The pound notes would obviously still be worth £15 (£100 at best if put into an average bank account), but would be far less than half a weeks wages in todays money. This is fact not fiction. This all boils back to the end of Bretton Woods in 1971 where currency was no longer tied to something with true value, ie Gold, and the bankers have since then continually ran riot at the expense of the average man. Cunds!

It appears that the yields do exceed the fund management charges - and that good past choice was made. Are the above yields after charges? The main aim must be to avoid any future lower yields that balance the previous out performance. Is the fund seeking out the current and prospective top performers? Feed 'em, clothe 'em, box 'em is another investment selection method.
