It's all yours, a big risk

Article Abstract:

Privatization and the demutualization of building societies in the UK have greatly widened the basis of share ownership. Indeed, there are expected to be between 16 million and 17 million share owners by the end of 1997, from only 4 million in 1983. Many people have reaped considerable benefits from owning shares in privatized companies or demutualized building societies, but this will not necessarily continue to be the case. It is better to regard privatization or demutualization stocks as the basis of a wider equities portfolio. It is advisable to wrap such a portfolio as a general self-select PEP.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained

Article Abstract:

It is necessary to take some risks with your savings if you wish to see large returns. Building society deposit accounts and National Savings products are very low risk, but returns are also low. In contrast, returns from stocks can be very high. There are a wide range of investment vehicles between these two extremes. It can be extremely risky to put your money into the shares of a single company, but risk can be spread through collective stock market investments, such as investment trusts, pension funds and unit trusts.
