Hello

I did ask a little while ago but didn’t have much response apologies for asking again.

Cash isa has matured today, anybody with any suggestions as to where they would put the above cash. Below is what I have invested in upto now on the advice of people here . Thinking about emerging markets but not sure.


Lindsell Train Global Equity - 42.7%
Standard Life Global Smaller Companies-34.6%
Barings Fund Managers Ltd Europe Select Class 1 - 22.1%
Old Mutual Global INV (onshore)Uk mid cap class R - 0.5%.

Any help/advice would be great.
Thanks Mark

As a suggestion how about 25% in each of the following which are the four I would choose, one of which you are already invested in anyway. This should give you a good spread of risk and will then have your eggs split into four rather than all in the same basket:

Fundsmith

Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust

Bailie Gifford Emerging Markets

Lindsell Train Global Equity

Hi Stuart

Will look at :-

Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust

Bailie Gifford Emerging Markets

As it stands between my self and my wife we are something like

Fundsmith 55%
Linsdell Train Global Equity 20%
Standard Life Global Smaller Companies 15%
Baring Fund Managers Ltd Europe Select Class 1. 10%
Old Mutual Global INV Onshore UK Mid Cap Class R - 0.5%.

So maybe concentrate £7,500 on Baille Gillford Emerging Markets and £7,500 in
JP Morgan Emerging Markets ?.

We also invest £500pcm in Fundsmith and £500pcm in Linsdell.
These stocks and shares are all new to me this year so looking for help and advise from this forum is invaluable.

Cheers
Mark
