If you are looking for a sustainable medium to long term investment approach then a smoothed investment plan may be worth exploring.
Scott Herbert Partner and Independent Financial Planner, discusses the benefits of smoothed funds.
He comments ‘Put simply it is investing in a range of assets such as equities, bonds, cash and property. When the returns are particularly good a portion is put aside for when they take a downturn and when markets are down then growth from years of upside are added giving a potential smoothed investment growth.
‘We all know that stock markets and other investments can go up and down. These movements can be quite extreme and understandably this can deter some people from investing. Smoothed investing can provide cautious/balanced investors an opportunity to invest without the volatility normally linked to UK and overseas stock markets.

Whilst smoothed investments are designed to provide a smooth growth rate, the value of investments and income from them may go down and you may not get back the original amount invested. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.
