Not everyone wants to jump in at the deep end. If you’re a cautious investor and you think the time is right, you may want to try one or some of the following:
A bond fund. Your money goes into fixed-interest securities tied either to governments or companies.
A distribution fund. This type of fund focuses on a mix of lower-risk shares, bonds, cash and property.
A no-lose fund. You put your money in a special fund, usually for five years. At the end of the specified time, you get your money back without any deduction or, if the index has risen, your original money enhanced by the percentage rise.
A tracker fund. This type of fund follows a stock market index such as the FTSE 100 – or the Footsie – up and down. This option is good if you want to invest in shares but have no idea which ones to buy or which fund manager to back. But don’t forget an index can be all over the place!
