I am taking pension and in short term income fund, but with the stock market going nuts, I am thinking of doing a free choice investment and investing 90% in the cash part and 10% in bonds, the thinking is that cash is the least volatile.
Can anyone tell me how to find out what the return has historically been for lifesights cash only?

Thank you.

    Out of interest what will you do if the stock market stops going nuts? Which could be next week, or even tomorrow, or even later this afternoon. Not saying that it will but it might, so worth thinking about.
