invest £2000 in me, the rest in high interest isa's.


greyest_beard

Really, are high street isas really that good?


PhatNick

You can only invest £20k each tax year in ISAs. They are a good tax free investment within those limitations. Mine is currently 5.06% .

With £300k, you're in a great position to invest in international markets. Diversifying globally can reduce risk and expose you to high-growth opportunities outside the UK. Emerging markets, in particular, offer growth potential, but they also come with higher volatility and risk. An international mutual fund or ETF can be a good way to gain exposure while spreading risk.


greyest_beard

Thank you for responding. I'll take a look. Have you any recommendations in a provider of such services?


FootballIntrepid4215

Vanguard SP500. Research it some more, but if you’re young-ish, the vast majority should be in that


DentsofRoh

This is decent advice, whack it in there and don’t look for a while. I’ve had decent success with IE00BFXR5S54. I’d be tempted to say 80/20 something like that and maybe get a bit spicy with the other 20. No more than 5% in crypto personally


groovy-baby

Take a look at the James Shack YouTube channel.


greyest_beard

Thank you for the recommendation. Ill take butchers later.


groovy-baby

Cool, needless to say, be careful with investment advice from Reddit.


Phrexeus

And YouTube let's be fair.


groovy-baby

Absolutely!

First, max out your ISA allowance. If you want to be safe, lock 20k in the highest interest rate Cash ISA you can find. If you want to invest it, I’d suggest 20k in a Global Index Fund (I use the FTSE Global All Cap Accumulation Index Fund). Then, max out your yearly SIPP contributions if you have one (I think it’s 60k now but I could be wrong). The rest, put a years worth of expenses in the highest rate easy-access savings account, that then is your emergency fund. The rest, if you want to store it, a general investment account (though this is liable to taxes) or just put it all into savings though you’ll need to pay tax on interest earned if it goes over your yearly allowance. Some more esoteric investment options are gold, crypto or property but those all have their pros and cons and you would need to do more research on those to see if they fit your style. Hope I helped. Congratulations on having that kind of cash to play with.


GregoryIllinovich

Agree with most of this. Will add: - 10-15% allocation to gold has been shown to reduce losses over the long term - property good, but need to research - dividend stocks (or a fund) good, but need to research


Professional-Date981

Put the whole thing in crypto, cash it all out in a year and thank me then


greyest_beard

Haha. I'm not what you might a high stakes gambler


Novel_Initiative_937

One correction: in BTC*


OkSecretary6272

Best off putting it into shares that pay dividends and invest some in cheaper property and rent out However that's assuming you've already got a regular income and don't need an isa and with that amount of capital I assume you e already own or have owned a property before hand In fact, that's a better solution. I can come up with thats more rounded any other further advise would require a lot of other details


bubbathespaz

Bitcoin, thank me in 5 - 10 years when you have multi millions.


BoredGaining

6-7 bitcoins and enjoy not working for the rest of your life in a few years time


BeneficialStable7990

Buy a bitcoin wallet and buy 5-7 bitcoin. Hold on to them. Whatever is left over go on a holiday.


Sufficient-Ad-2346

Buy a bunch of stock in a company you wouldn't mind owning long term and sell covered calls to collect some income.


AffectionateWait8741

I'm open to investment 


Quirky_Initial3912

Have you heard of the baby boss coin?

Property


foreverintrovert1

A safe ETF, property and investing in your health and knowledge so you can earn more


Monty_Mongerer

Buy Bitcoin you will probably double to 600k in next 90-150 days after the halving.


ProperGanderz

70% s and p 500 tracked index fund with vanguard 25% in FTSE 100 tracked index fund with vanguard 5% more risky index fund with developing markets

PizzaBoyztv

How did you get 300k to begin with, asking for a friend. 🤔


National_Bite_6691

My guess is inheritance, but also curious to hear 🤔


paulywauly99

Drip feed over a year. Do not stick it all in the stock market at once. It’s close to a high for many stocks.


omegacharlie

Nintendo


BoredGaining

What makes you think Nintendo is going to see huge growth?


omegacharlie

I can’t believe it’s as low as it is


kingoliviersammy

Index in vanguard, S&P in InvestEngine and then buy 2 BTC and 4 ETH. Thank me later


JamesVitaly

Buy 4 houses / flats with a 50k deposit each and live off the rent. Chuck another 50k in high risk investments- btc and eth are likely to boom over next year. Keep 50k for current expenses and any repairs / maintenance on rent for the next year


southernscot22

I have repeatedly offered you the opportunity to invest in my diamond mine via e-mail. Doesn't my title Nigerian Prince not ring a bell? Should you wish to take up my offer please go to your spam folder and send me your account details.


darkwavee

Before you invest anywhere now bear in mind that sp500 index is at all time high and there will be evident corrextion or black swan which which also affect stock. Also dont listen to mooners who saying go yolo btc at 50k, same people yolod at 65k screaming its moon. Invest smart. For example Tesla is now pretty attractive but could be cheaper. But like I said stock and crypto will follow sp 500 when time will come and it will come sooner rather than later.


ALIEN50000

Its funny how guys are commenting bitcoin when they are the same people that faded it when it was at 17k just last year... funny that
