Something like Vanguard LS100 or L&G World index maybe? Really depends what you are looking at for a general fund. I certainly wouldn't be looking at a single bank share.Thanks! What is an example of a general fund? I need to compare this to what i have, that way i can see how it is made up and get funds alike.Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.0 -
Good point- i think that is where i am going wrong. I need to readjust my investments and take up more equity, as well as more diversification.
I suggest you have a read around this site, which explains the basics of investing in straightforward language
If you scroll down the page you'll see a link to Diversification.

If I was saving for a house I wouldn't invest in stocks and shares at all, I'd be using high interest current accounts and a HTB ISA. edit .. and a LISA from next year0

Yes, i have taken your advise and gone and opened a Help To Buy ISA with Santander; the interest rate is 4% but can only pay in a maximum of £200 monthly. Thanks again0
