100% fixed rate deposits - with inflation likely to average 0-1% over the next two years 6% plus is too good to miss0

50% savings
50% shares0 -
52% in cash (of which > 75% is in Cash ISAs fixed at 6.125%)
32% in stocks & shares ISAs - wide geographical remit (16 funds)
16% in shares (utilities and keeping my overall portfolio in the black)
Having fully subscribed to the 08/09 ISAs, I am biding my time before investing again as my last 3 fund choices were mixed successes - Russia (big mistake) and US (comparatively okay and showing a small gain after 6 months)
I will no doubt wait until the next tax year before I start investing again, but until then I am maxing out my pension and any residual is going into cash.
Happy investing for 2009!0 -
Cash ISA: 56%
Other Cash: 24%
S & S ISA: 1% (Just set up with Direct Debit)
Equities: 19%
That's approximate. In the New Year I'm planning on increasing my S & S ISA direct debit, it goes into a tracker of the FTSE All-Share. More into Cash ISA, and out of equities into another fund, possibly M & G recovery.
Just what I'm thinking for me, not advice for anyone else.“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0 -
