GOALS:
- Accumulate
capital to fund early retirement
- As
an expat in the UK (Canadian), I am still confused over the best
investment opportunities open to me for both long and short term
growth. Currently, I do not have any investment plans in the UK and
continue to pay towards my Canadian funds.
- Retirement
at 65
- Retire
at 50 and travel the world
- I
want to be in a position by the beginning of next year to buy my first
property.
- Disappointingly
low interest savings account. About to become non-resident due
to relocation and have significant (in my terms) amount to invest for
2 years- would like to get something a bit more that 5% but without
high risk
- I
have a pension and ISA scheme running at present but I'm looking to
invest a recent bonus payment and need some clues as to how
- I
am keen on divestment
- My
goal is make my money work harder.
- Don't
have any, hence the interest in coming along to this
- No
current strategy - still in pain from my losses in tech stocks
- Planning
for retirement
- diversified
investment portfolio (objective is income and growth)
- I
don't have the time to look for the best deals
- Make
full use of the Tax benefits, i.e. ISA's
- To
pay off the mortgage
- Saving
up to buy a larger house. Also saving to cover my salary for 6
months so that I can afford to take maximum maternity leave when I
have a baby
- To
make the right decisions for the future, whilst starting off a company
and working hand to mouth. Focusing on structure income, and how
to balance near term survival (personal) v. longer term retirement
etc. plans. e.g. keep head above water today whilst planning how
to buy the boat tomorrow
- Strategies
are based on long-term goals to established my financial security in
the future. My goals are to begin today to have a higher quality of
life while savings for the future. I wish to have the freedom to
do the things that I love and to live in the present while being very
conscious about savings for the future. My goals are to carry no
debt except for a realistic mortgage and to not spend on anything that
I can't afford comfortably
- My
saving regime is a little haphazard - I would like to commit to save a
portion of my income - but I also like hedonism now! Question: what
proportion do others save at various income levels?
- I
have a goal currently of buying my own home- less clothing, more
saving approach
STRATEGIES
- Buy
a flat to rent out every year
- Buying
property, ISA's and other high interest easy access savings accounts
- Invest
in communications ,wireless, satellite
- Early
in, early out
- Fund
venture fund II
- Focus
on ethical investments
- ISAs
and other savings
- Stakeholder
Pensions
- Accumulated
savings and retirement fund
- Real
estate investment
- Putting
some in property, stocks, ISA's and a few key pieces of art, jewelry
& shoes of course! The best returns have been from the
property & the shoes!
- I
have a Tessa and take out a maxi ISA every year. I try as much
as possible to put away about £800 a month.
- Invest
in Property to let - Need to be careful about the property and also
the ability to carry the mortgage if you do not have it rented.
- The
stock market, in Europe and USA
- ISAs,
friendly societies, high-interest accounts
- Question
is not that clear. Training and Processes are key to increase ROI -
affects effectiveness and efficiency
- The
stock market is fun for a flutter
- My
current strategy is to invest in property and cash/bonds, holding back
on equity linked investments (with the exception of ISAs etc and one
or two very cheap long term plays)
- I
am interested in the most risk averse way to earn a return on my money
in a low interest rate environment
- I'm
considering buying a property to let rather than making additional
pension contributions that will be locked away. Capital gain would be
good - but am doing it to get an on-going income stream firstly to
cover the mortgage (any advice on buy to let mortgages?) and then to
re-invest
- I
think investment includes investment in our society - so I regularly
give time & (a little) money to some charities
- I
have an ISA and a savings account. I have just employed a financial
advisor who scans the markets for the best wealth creating products
for me which are appropriate for my financial status- single,
early-thirties, no dependants, strong supporter of retail therapy.....
- Have
been low risk (fixed deposit and real estate) investor peppered with
very high risk (seed capital to people I know) along with loans to
first time homeowners (i.e. loans with collateral. Looking at
creating a more structured high risk approach as well as padding out
the medium risk area (currently empty in my portfolio) for more
balance. Aim is both income generation and growth
- Current
strategy is focused on value preservation, with limited exposure to
aggressive risks. Primary assets are in cash , real-estate, and
conservative hedge-funds. Also hold limited stocks (some so low
that just not worth selling at this point, so riding it out...others
remain very interesting). Primary challenge is balancing
investment mobility/diversification (i.e. where do I put my money and
how do I move it around) with tax exposure
