Are Funds still a good investment in turbulent market times like now?
Difficult to be specific because there are so many different funds but generally they are as long as you stick to something with a good track record and spread the risk. You might feel times are turbulant but looking over the long term (which should always be your goal with this type of investment) things are more settled than ever. The highs and lows are not as extreme as they have been looking back the last 30 years and in a sense, the world is a much more stable place financially at least. Take your time, do some research and just don’t fall for the ‘independant advisor’ trap of believing for one second they will sell you anything that isn’t going to make them a shed load of commission. Get lots of genuine unbiased advice, spread the risk and invest in what’s best for YOU.
