The FTSE

[Rammy Blue]

Split it into 2 or 3 well managed active funds

And where would you find them? And what platform/company would you recommend to do it with?

thanks

I use HL but there are others. Their wealth 50 funds are worth looking at. Plenty of funds recommended earlier in this thread, before all this FME thing became all the rage.

There are so many funds to choose from its hard to make individual recommendations about which will perform well.

I’m a complete novice on shit like this. I opened an account with AJ Bell a year or two back, I think it was for a sipp which I’ve never used.

I read bits on this thread and think I must get round to it, then I just end up shying away due to lack of knowledge.

I see people mention certain accounts where you pay for share deals and some that don’t, so if you wanted to use a few funds but then every now and then fancied buying some shares if you got a decent tip, would it still be HL you‘d recommend and are there different accounts to choose from with them?

If one hypothetically had 10 grand sitting in a current account doing nothing, what would one do with it?

And just to preempt, not hookers and cocaine.

As an alternative have you considered prostitutes and heroin :)

I’ve bought some shares via my AJ Bell SIPP - it’s around £7.50 a trade I think. Can’t be arsed opening another free account to trade, and I’d rather keep all of my millions under one roof ;)

This is what a guy with $13m in cash from GME call options and $30m in shares, that's bankrupted 2 hedge funds looks like.

Closing the day 6462!!

Anyone with shares in cruse ships or planes could have taken a hammering.

Dare not look at my RBS shares.

But fir anyone with balls surely the FTSE will hit 8000 within 3 years once this has all passed so I make that a 20 percent growth factor over that period.

Great time to lump in??

Hey worsley, I retire in 3 years, so surely I should up my pension contributions. I'm sitting on £130k paying £125 per month. With the Prudential. What you think?

I used to have an IG account as well that I had individual shares in but I wasn’t much cop at picking them so now am mostly funds . IG, HL and AJBell probably all much of a muchness so if you are happy with the look and feel of the AJBell website or app there is no need to open anything else.

I wouldn’t rule out dabbling in shares again but would prefer to let someone else ie a fund manager do the thinking for me.

That said depending on the fund there probably isn’t too much thought involved. One of my holdings in in Scottish Mortgage which I believe is the biggest fund out there and the majority of that is made up of big companies like Tesla and Apple (I think)

The various platforms mentioned above plus other sites like Morningstar tell you the make up of various funds.

Im far from being expert myself but have become fairly comfortable investing. I steer well clear of all this drama with GME that is going on
