Starting my company investment plan, they gave me a choice on:

Passive Base Fund
Active Base Fund
Passive UK Equity Fund
Passive Overseas Equity Fund
Active UK equity Fund
Active Global Equity Fund
Passive Bond Fund
Cash Fund

The company I'm working for us large american IT firm and it is global. I am having trouble deciding which is safe !! I can split some of them to total of 100%

I'm not in any way qualified to give financial advice (is that actually illegal these days?), i'm just saying i'd prefer the passive option if it was me. I'm sure someone on here could give you the name of a good IFA.....
