Types

There is so much choice when it comes to investing that it is easy to be confused by the different investment types. Ultimately you need to think about how much risk you are prepared to take and what areas of investment you're interested in.

You also need to consider how long you are prepared to invest for.  Clearly it makes a difference if you are investing for yourself compared with investing for your children.

It's also important to decide how much control you want over your investment. Would you prefer to be in complete control of where your money is invested or would you prefer an expert to do it for you and help you to make decisions?  A good rule of thumb is if you don't understand what you're buying don't invest in it.

In this section we run through the main types of investment, including:

  • Endowments
  • Isas
  • Investment bonds
  • National Savings Certificates
  • Children's investments
  • Hedge funds
  • Investment trusts
  • Reits

  • Commodities
  • Ethical investments
  • Gilts
