There's a lot of love for LifeStrategy on here which is because it's a good product, but if you're looking at the LS100 I'd also consider a simple global tracker.
LifeStrategy isn't a tracker, there's a bias towards the UK more than a true global tracker would be - that may not be a problem but something to consider if you literally want something that tracks the true world markets.0 -
Thank you, I was interested in the Vanguard LifeStrategy 100. I know it's higher risk but also higher returns over the long term. What do you think?
If the plan is to lock the money away for retirement. Then choose a more diversified option. Will be lower risk and therefore potentially a lower return. However will incrementally grow whatever market is flavour of the month.0 -

Access with a penalty on the portion of it that you access, with a LISA
Bowlhead99, thank you for your response, what would you recommend?0 -
Vanguard LifeStrategy 100 fund has a large bias to the FTSE 100 - so I would only choose this fund if I believed this index will outperform. There's Vanguard FTSE Global All Cap Index fund which attempts to mirror the global stock market with no regional bias. I can understand why people use LifeStrategy 20/40/60/80 funds but I have no idea why someone would want to use the 100.
Yep, that's what I'd do with 5K if I had paid off all my high interest debts“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.”0
