    How will the taxation hit you?
    Do you think that the markets will go down more or are we close to bottom?
    Are other funds available?

  • well there is no taxation effect as i am out of the UK.

    I think at best the market will go down further and it best it will not get any better in the next year or so.

    I have other funds available but may be for the nexr 6 months or so.

    so the questiion is if i stay and the market gets worse could i be getting less than what i would get if i exit now, may be this will be due to the smoothing and payout policy of NU?
