High Risk Investment

Hi,
How high is high I wonder, for 25-50 pm you could go for a monthly plan into a high risk investment trust, perhaps JPMorgan Russia or Fidelity China or similar. Alternatively you could drip feed into one of the aggregated share buying services and go for a high risk equity purchase along the lines of a bank :-)

Downscale you could go for a monthly plan into a OEIC or Unit Trust plan, perhaps going for JPM Natural Resources, the new Artemis Global Energy or Jupiter India fund or similar.

There are so many choices out there, I see that iii do an aggregated share purchase scheme but there are probably others. Other alternatives could be CFD's or Spread Betting but I do not know if any allow drip feeding small amounts in.

I'm sure others more insightful will be along shortly to help, good luck!

playing the forex game with £25-50 per month is not going to gain much at all, and doing it with a market maker is even going to be more harder, it is high risk, but u wont get high gains, building it up to £500 will get u a market marker account. and you could make some good money from it if u trade good,

but remember market makers = bucket shop = traders get left out of pocket

Thanks for the advice guys.

Apologies as I am a complete novice at this.

What do I need to be looking at to consider this?

I was hoping to look at a few links and then when decided I just set up a direct debit each month but looks a bit more complicated?

It really depends how high risk you want to go. As a novice something like currency spread betting is going to be one of the most high risk things you can do and if you get it wrong then you could lose a lot more than your stake.

Some links to different providers. As per Jamesd's comment, if you don't already have an ISA then HL are a good place to start but you'll need £50 per month to get going.

Another novice here.
Do you just call H Lansdowne up and set up a S/O with them?

I currently save £200 a month for holidays iN a preferential regular saver which gives a small interest at the end of a year and I don't touch it for the year. Could I improve on this by going with HL at high/medium risk? Thanks.

Investing for a year is not medium/high risk - it's gambling.

You are just as likely to lose money.
