Picking the best of the promise keepers

Article Abstract:

There are two types of guaranteed equity funds. One is a five-year bond which is invested in different markets and investors get back their capital and a percentage of the increase of the stock market indices. The other type of fund is more like a unit trust. Guaranteed funds do not receive dividend income to reinvest and this can be a considerable loss. The guarantee may be unnecessary if the market forecasts are good and if shares fall then the money may have fared better in a building society. Investors are advised to avoid bonds which are linked to more than one index.

Pooling resources to beat the market

Article Abstract:

There are around 1,000 investment clubs in the UK. These bring together up to 20 people who are looking to undertake collective investment in the stock market. All the members pay a set amount each month into a central fund, with all members playing a role in determining investment strategy. It is very important that the majority of members agree on all deals. For many investment clubs, it will be most appropriate to deal through a broker's nominee account or possibly as a sponsored member of Crest.
