What is an Investment?
An investment is a financial vehicle through which you allocate your money with the expectation of generating a return in the future. These returns can come in the form of capital appreciation, regular income, or both. Investments enable you to grow your wealth over time and achieve financial objectives, such as funding your retirement, purchasing a home, or planning for your children’s education.

Types of Investments:
In the UK, various investment options are available to suit your financial goals and risk tolerance. Here are some common types of investments:
Â
- Shares: Investing in shares means buying ownership stakes in publicly-traded companies. As a shareholder, you have the potential to benefit from capital appreciation and dividends.
- Gilt-Edged Securities (Gilts): Gilts are government bonds issued by the UK government. They are considered low-risk investments and provide a fixed interest rate.
- Unit Trusts: Unit trusts pool money from multiple investors to invest in a diversified portfolio of assets, such as stocks, bonds, or real estate.
- Individual Savings Accounts (ISAs): ISAs are tax-efficient savings and investment accounts that offer various options, including Cash ISAs, Stocks and Shares ISAs, and Innovative Finance ISAs.
- Investment Trusts: Similar to unit trusts, investment trusts pool funds from investors. However, they are structured as closed-end funds and are traded on stock exchanges.
- Open-Ended Investment Companies (OEICs): OEICs are collective investment schemes where investors’ money is pooled to invest in a diversified portfolio of assets.
- Investment Bonds: Investment bonds are insurance policies that invest in a range of assets. They offer tax advantages and flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
The UK offers a wide range of investment options, including shares, bonds, unit trusts, ISAs (Individual Savings Accounts), investment trusts, OEICs (Open-Ended Investment Companies), and more. Each has its own characteristics and risk profiles, making it important to select investments aligned with your financial goals and risk tolerance.
Your risk tolerance is a crucial factor in investment decisions. It depends on factors like your financial goals, investment time horizon, and comfort level with market fluctuations. Our advisors will assess your risk tolerance and recommend investments that match your profile.
Diversification involves spreading your investments across different asset classes, such as stocks, bonds, and real estate, to reduce risk. It helps ensure that a poor performance in one asset class does not significantly impact your overall portfolio. Our experts will create a diversified investment strategy tailored to your goals.
No investment is entirely immune to market volatility. However, our team employs various strategies, including diversification and periodic portfolio reviews, to help manage the impact of market fluctuations on your investments.
ISAs offer tax advantages to UK investors. Returns on investments held within an ISA are not liable for income tax or capital gains tax, helping you maximise your returns.
The liquidity of your investments depends on the type of assets you hold. Some investments, like stocks and bonds, are more liquid and can be sold relatively quickly. Others, such as certain real estate investments, may have longer lock-in periods. We can help you choose investments that align with your liquidity needs.
Regular portfolio reviews are essential to ensure your investments stay aligned with your goals and risk tolerance. We recommend reviewing your portfolio at least annually or when significant life events occur, such as marriage, retirement, or the birth of a child.
Inflation erodes the purchasing power of money over time. When planning investments, it’s crucial to consider investments that have the potential to outpace inflation to preserve and grow your wealth effectively.
Initiating your investment journey with us is simple. Contact our team at 0161 519 8500 to schedule a consultation. During this meeting, we’ll discuss your financial goals and objectives, assess your risk tolerance, and create a customised investment plan that suits your needs.
