ISA stocks and shares
Discussion
Wish to invest into a growth stocks and shares ISA and have had a look at what’s available. My attitude to risk would be in the medium category.
Would appreciate investors views on which Companies/ businesses/investment houses that they have had personal experiences. If I can find a short list to focus upon that would be great.
Not really looking for zip bang bash zingers but more steady growth.

If you want medium risk, with a medium time horizon then go for a global equity tracker.Would appreciate investors views on which Companies/ businesses/investment houses that they have had personal experiences. If I can find a short list to focus upon that would be great.

With markets being high at the moment I’d be inclined to choose and active value stock picking manager rather than just tracking the indices.
Fidelity Special Situations for example.
With a medium investment horizon and monthly investment, I’d be less concerned about short-term volatility.Fidelity Special Situations for example.
^^^^^
I was thinking along the modest / moderate lump sum of around 5k followed with monthly drip investment around £50. TBH it’s more a case of which Company might offer reasonable hope over a five year term. I had read somewhere that Fidelity had lost its sparkle.
Oh the management fees are also on the high side for my taste.

I'm sure I read the other day that in volatile (bear markets) tracker funds still usually outperform actively managed ones. I think the key is not to get spooked during slumps and see it as an opportunity to buy more units for less in a fund for longer term growth ie "buy low, sell high".Fidelity Special Situations for example.

Do you want a recommendation or a crystal ball?!I was thinking along the modest / moderate lump sum of around 5k followed with monthly drip investment around £50.

I think GSK look reasonable value at the moment, and pay a reasonable dividend too.
However, I might be biased as it forms rather more of my portfolio than I’d like and I’m doing the amateur investor trick of hopeing it will go back up...
A single stock or handful of stocks doesn't really fulfil the OP's requirements of 'medium' risk, so he now needs another 49+ stock recommendations from other people!However, I might be biased as it forms rather more of my portfolio than I’d like and I’m doing the amateur investor trick of hopeing it will go back up...

Yet both apparently define 100% equity exposure as "medium risk". Others may disagree....
To clarify, I'd categorise equity investment over a medium to long term investment horizon as medium risk.I'd also categorise (long duration) bond investment over a very-short time horizon as medium-high risk!

Yeah I know, at the minute I feel little confidence in my own judgement, so a massive crystal ball please would be lovely.

Yup, with some help in here and some reading I have convinced myself that the Global tracker
is the one for me.
