Your last investment?

Marine_life

So....here we go. Keep it simple - I would like to hear what your last investment was and why?

I'll start with two

First, iShares Global High Yield Corp Bond CHF Hedged

Why?
1. Its fits the bond / equities portfolio mix I am trying to build
2. Yield if good (4.75%)
3. The CHF still broadly tracks the € and our funds are mostly in €

Risk
1. Its sub investment grade.

Second, Impact Healthcare REIT

Why
1. I quite like property as an asset class for the stable returns
2. Yield is good (6%)
3. Old age is a growing sector!

Risks
1. Rising interest rates could ruin my yield

What's yours?

Bank of America shares.

because i have been buying them over the last year and have risen a lot. i always add to a winning trade and i see the stock doubling even from here as the US rates rise.

risks are if US rates dont rise or rise much slower.

10 one ounce gold Britannias and 20 one ounce silver Britannias purchased a fortnight ago.

More crisis insurance.

Every week I make the same investment: I defer my State Retirement Pension for another week. Perhaps not for much longer though.

ELTA about a week before the humongous dividend announcement...

my timing is impeccable. (that's sarcasm btw)

Too small a market capitalisation to be of interest to larger investment funds. As a consequence trades at considerable discount. Which has offered a good opportunity to buy in and build a decent holding over the past 2 years. Continued to buy to maintain weighting in portfolio.

Took up my nil paid rights in Segro. New shares for approximately £1 less than what they were trading for. The company seems to be really good at what it does and they have provided good returns all the time I have held them. Owning lots of land in strategic places and gradually buying up small adjacent plots to consolidate into bigger sites and developing them to what the market needs is great business.

That special dividend is humungous! I guess the share price will drop by about the same amount when it goes XD?

Not sure if it counts, but my most recent investment (hopefully not my last investment ) was to put a lump sum into the LGPS to buy additional, risk-free, index-linked, retirement income.

If that doesn't count as investment, then my most recent was to buy ISAT shares at £7.45. Reasons? Good British tech stock, principally earning overseas, with reasonable dividend. Market leader in its field with good prospects of expanding markets. Not without its risks, but meets my investment criteria. Closed at £8.51 yesterday.

M&G Optimal Income - rebalancing my portfolio of primarily ITs and ETFs, which have all risen strongly.

11% property development loan secured on a farmhouse (30% LTV) being converted into 2 presold semi detached houses. Reducing my exposure to equities (primarily US smaller companies) due to high valuations.

Mine was starting a monthly saver with a split of 25% HSBC ftse 100 index income, 25% HSBC European index income, 25% HSBC American index income and 25% RIT capital partner's.
purely as a very long term investment
