Don't bring him into this too!
On a serious note though, let me know if you find anything interesting. I'm more than likely to do the Bolton fund for 09/10 but will be looking out for 10/11 soon after.

Well, I am going to invest either way as I have done for a number of years when there have been spare funds available. Bank deposits are returning zip, property the same and I have additional funds for having fun. These investments are my Plan B (anything requiring actual work doesn't appeal !)and will fund my retirement. I have a broad range of PEP's/ISA's etc and after a bit of nerve jangling from a few bumps in the road, most are standing at a healthy profit.

You said that last October when I floated the idea here of buying into a commercial property unit trust. Results? I made ~20% to date on the unit trust I bought and there's more to come.

Everything is overpriced.
China is a bubble, the S&P is overvalued, the FTSE is ripe for a big fall.
Biscuit tin looks the best option or just go out and spend the money enjoying yourself whilst you still can.

Forget Woodford (Invesco Perpetual), he's a busted flush. For an income fund, look seriously at Trojan Income. China? You're too late. Wait until the bubble bursts, as it surely will. I am.

For the first time you will be able to directly invest in residential property both at home and abroad. Property in Spain, especially popular areas like the Costa del Sol look set to reap the benefits of these changes. France could be another hotspot with property in Montpellier and the surrounding areas of the Languedoc featuring highly on a lot of peoples wish lists. Many UK Residents have always dreamed of buying an off plan property abroad and places like Spain and France provide an excellent choice within just a couple of hours of the UK.

The government changed it's mind at the last minute.
Remember, you might not be able to touch the money in a SIPP until you are 150 years old if the government have their way of raising the retirement age by 5 years every other year.

Mule - That is too much risk for me, I wouldn't invest directly in any so called oil/gold rush areas. I might however invest in a fund that had some exposure to companies in this area. It's all about spreading the risk a bit.

Perpetual fund has been a very steady performer but might be too big to be able to react now, to make a difference to the overall fund they have to take a big position in a company. So it is Steady Eddie if a bit uninspiring. Planning to chuck the money in for a good few years (it's the only way) and can take a few risks so I do fancy that China fund. Couple of things - 1. People are saying China has overshot and might be investing approaching the top of a bubble. 2. China is expected to revalue the currency which will benefit any investment.
I have got some other more stable stuff so I will be putting some in this but tempted to spread it into somewhere else too and I have a SIPP allowance to use up.

If you like risking your capital, have a punt on the Falkland Island gas exploration companies - it's all or nothing but worth a go IMO.

I am sorely tempted by the new Fidelity China fund but might offset with Invesco Perpetual High income.
Anyone else got any suggestions ?
What's the Invesco fund like?
