Mine's a 500 monthly investment across the below 8 and all accumulation units (yes, you may say it's quite a lot). Gives me a good spread across the globe with bias to the Emerging Markets. Plan is stick to a similar spread for quite a long time as part of S&S ISA portfolio

1. First State Emerging Markets Leaders
2. First State Asia Pacific Leaders
3. Aberdeen Emerging Markets Smaller Cos
4. M&G Global Dividend
5. Troy Trojan Income
6. Ruffer Total Return
7. Templeton Global Bond
8. M&G Strategic Corporate Bond

Keeping an eye on Neptune Russia and First Global Resources but these are just too volatile for my liking

My funds are disaster zones at the moment, but I'm in them all for the long run of 20-30 years so I'm not too worried. In fact, if I had some spare cash I'd be tempted to put more in.

£250 a month (£50 in each) goes to:

• Aberdeen Emerging Markets Acc
• BlackRock Gold & General Acc (fallen off a cliff recently)
• HSBC FTSE 250 Index
• Jupiter India Acc
• M&G Global Basics Acc

Apart from the FTSE Index the others are pretty volatile so I'm aware that there are going to be lots of ups and downs. This is my "risky" fund - my other investments are in fairly safe and boring areas.

Hi guys,

does anybody know much about or have experience in property funds?

I think theres a new value property fund coming to market that's worth a look at, called providencefunds.co.uk.

Thanks
