Investing in Global Trackers and other similar investments

DoneWorking

On the few posts I have made on this forum I have tried to obtain guidance on how to protect my cash funds from inflation

I've asked for advice on 
Basic Cash Savings Options

DIY Options

FIA Options

Can we stick to this theme please

Thank You

You are probably right about my concerns over loss and volatility

However I am thinking that for me at this moment in time I would be less anxious with an IFA

Apologies for another possibly brutal post, but as I recall you've been speaking to IFAs since at least 2017. If you were going to "put your trust" in one, which would allow them  limit your anxiety during loss periods, you would already have been receiving ongoing advice for years.

Are you saying this is the same guy who has created a new username to ask the same questions he’s been asking since 2017?  

But has he created a new username?

You tell me, has he? 

Or even better, he could answer for himself. 

choi was posting up until September 21, DoneWorking started in December 21. What gives?

Whatever the reality of the situation, I would encourage DoneWorking to review some of choi's previous threads. They indeed go over much the same ground, and they should be quite easy to digest as the posting style is very similar

If I recall correctly didn't Choi just stick loads in Tesla?

Not that I recall. Choi self-identified as a nervous investor and had an interest in an advised medium risk ethical portfolio, but had a deep mistrust of advisers. Sorted out their pension with some help from the forum, but also wanted to make some other investments.

This thread in particular outlines steps taken to invest in such a portfolio. Unfortunately it ends on a cliff-hanger with the critical meeting with the IFA approaching, but Choi never came back to disclose the outcome. But there's lots of discussion in there that could be helpful to the OP here, as the two have quite similar objectives. Passive/DIY options were discussed as well as advised options.

Amazing. They should meet for coffee.

I will take a look

But has he created a new username? Has he been asking the same questions since at least 2017? Maybe he's been speaking to IFA's since 2017, Not necessarily posting on the forum since 2017.

The OP gives very open ended replies to comments and advice. I think he/she has lots to go on and should get back to us in a new thread when he/she has done something. Right now his/her comments are very "bot like". We've kept this threads mostly on topic, but for me it's run it's course.

Apologies for not being more communicative

As I've said previously you know nothing about my personal circumstances.
Yet a few of you seem to think it's ok to make very personal comments related to my anxiety 

This is unhelpful and upsets me

Obviously I'd prefer the comments to be positive and informative
Thanks to all of you who have tried to help me.

Maybe you need to ask yourself "is investing for me?" IMO it's something you shouldn't be even contemplating given your seemingly incapacity to cope with anything stressful.A preference to positive and informative comments would be seen as economical with the truth.
Let's face it, you've made many posts in various threads on the Forum, received hundreds of posts in return and still haven't left base.

Remember health is far more important than wealth.
Put everything into the best available savings, forget about investing and enjoy life.
