btalent60 | Which Investment? |
Hi, I have about £2k of my student loan to spare and Im looking to invest it into something with a high return. A savings account with 6% doesn't particularly interest me. I have money in the following funds which I think are relatively high risk but hopefully high return:
Axa Framlington EmergingMarkets Fund Acc
BlackRock Gold & General Acc
China Focus Fund (A-GBP)
F&C Latin American Equity Fund
JPM Natural Resources Fund
Neptune Russia & Greater Russia Fund
Any reasonable suggestions?
Thanks |

6% is really good for a savings account.
I've never heard of any of those, but definately stay out of Russia and probably China is still overpriced too. |

I like gold. I think it can only go up and it safer. |

I would go with the natural resources fund. The component companies are probably spread throughhout the world - which limits geopolitical risk.
Should be pretty diversified also: oil, natural gas, precious metals, as well as old fashioned iron and copper ores to name a few. While the world economy is slowing down, emerging markets, especially China, will continue to need massive amounts of natural resources to keep their economies growing.
Probably pays a dividend as well.
Best of luck. |

With interests rates getting slashed, I don't know of any 6% savings accounts.
As for your investments, the key is to pay attention to the fees. Anything over 1% annual fee is too much. |

Investing into a single country fund is high risk. Your financial planner plays a great role to monitor for your funds to look into the market trend as the economy inflation moves.
Two years ago, my financial planner from Manulife approached me and asked me to invest India Equity Fund. I was hesitating as I couldn't make up my mind. However, after much consideration and understanding on India market, I gave it a try. I called my financial planner for an appointment. I told him that I could consider to park my investment into India Fund. I bought 2 investments all in India Funds but different timing. Finally, last year around Nov 2007, India Funds prices increased. I quickly sold them and made a handsomely profit of more than 100%.
So, it is all depends who manages your funds and also monitor closely on the market economy. Always look into the blue clips companies before investing. |

I'd sggest are fslr, csiq, jaso. But I'm in the riskier stp and sol. Also POT potash is like... unreal. Today 4/25 was a nice 640 dollar profit for me on a 10 grand investment. |

If you want the gamble subscribe to something like The Penny share guide from Fleet Street publications:
http://www.fspinvest.co.uk/Investment-Services/Red-Hot-Penny-Shares.html
Using that as a guide I turned £2,650 into £37,000 in less than 3 years. I researched their tips and bought the ones where the directors were buying. That info can be got from the FT.
If you fancy being hands on check out Vince Stanzione's course on spread betting on the indexes.
His courses regularly turn up on eBay
You need about an hour a day but returns can be astronomical:

I tried it for a while but found it was too much hard work, as I don't enjoy poring over figures. I did make a fair bit but I could make more going out selling double glazing! The problem was I was only working with a £500 pound bank so a 20% profit only netted £100. Big advantage of course is winnings are tax free. Crazy really when any stock market investment is just as much of a gamble.
If you prefer the funds where you just sit back I would be very wary of Russia at the minute. China has the potential to be a star but you need to take a long view on it.
Latin America again could be dodgy with the way the US economy is threatening to go into free fall. I see a couple of people predicting an upturn, but too many pundits are talking of a full blown depression for my liking, Particularly if they are stupid enough to put the Republicans in again.
If that Happens the US will probably go isolationist yet again which will cause problems globally, but Latin America would suffer most.
That could be a huge bonus for China though! |

Why not pay back the part of your student loans. Whatever interest rate they are at you are better off not having them around. 2k paid off now is a sure thing, 2k invested in anything is a risk. Especially stay away from gold and precious metals. Gold has only returned an annual rate about equal to inflation. Yes it is high right now but when the US economy starts to rebound, around third quarter this year, gold will go back to normal levels. |

Gold - the timeless uptrend. Gold has no choice but to keep increasing in price, especially considering the state of world economies /commodities
To counter what the guy below me said - You just confirmed my assessment in gold as a valuable investment. The logic with any form investing has always been to "Buy low and sell high!" Right now people that had been invested in gold are laughing straight to the bank. I agree with your assessment of a turnaround in the coming quarter for the US which will help drive down gold prices. This will present a perfect opportunity to buy! Surely you don't think the US/world's problems are going to be over in one summer when you have terrorists attacking oil pipelines and tensions in the middle east rising daily. Just my 2 cents ;) |
