Pick a high-flying unit trust: Unit trusts offer investors a relatively cheap and low-risk way of investing in the world's stockmarkets

Article Abstract:

With unit trusts, as little as 20 pounds sterling a month can be invested, and the money is pooled with other small investors'. Investing in shares can ensure that the value of the money is not eroded by inflation in the long term. There is a choice between capital growth, income or a combination, and unit trusts are classified into various sectors, such as UK equity sectors, UK fixed interest and cash and overseas access. The types of charges on unit trusts are discussed and information is provided on what to do if a unit trust is performing badly. The best buy units trusts are listed.

Tools you can trust?

Article Abstract:

Choosing the right tool for a DIY job is crucial. While it's possible to rely on only one claw hammer, it's essential to have several types and sizes of screwdrivers. Replaceable blade knives are the best choice for a variety of do-it-yourself cutting jobs, and adjustable spanners are far more useful than conventional open ended spanners.
