What should I do with 10,000 pounds sterling next year?
Article Abstract:
A with-profits bond will be an attractive way of making a lump sum investment of 10,000 pounds sterling in 1997. The best with-profits bonds include the NPI With Profits Bond and the M and G Corporate Bond PEP. It is worth considering exposure to the European sector through a product such as the Invesco European Growth Fund, while a small sum could be invested in emerging markets. Investors with a slightly speculative attitude towards risk may wish to consider Schroder Far Eastern Growth Unit Trust or Baring Europe Select Unit Trust.

Eat, talk, drive - repeat each day
Article Abstract:
The work of an independent financial adviser can be very varied. It is important to meet fund managers and company executives to remain informed about product and market developments, as this is the only way to ensure that appropriate advice is given to clients. A lot of time is spent advising clients, and this can involve a lot of travelling. For this reason, many independent financial advisers use a mobile phone, ensuring that they are always in touch with their clients and their office.

A user's guide to self-invested pensions
Article Abstract:
Self-invested personal pensions (Sipps) offer greater flexibility than ordinary personal pensions. They do not have to be controlled by a fund manager, and the individual can determine investment strategies alone, probably after consulting a financial adviser. The investor can place lump sums into investment trust shares, attracting lower charges than are demanded by most insurance companies and enjoying the benefits of strong fund performance.
