Regular Savings: Weak Stockmarkets
REGULAR SAVINGS: WEAK STOCKMARKETS AND VOLATILITY CAN BE YOUR FRIEND Figures released from Framlington, the specialist investment manager, highlight the benefits of long term regular saving. In addition, they show the value of a specialist fund as part of a balanced investment portfolio. Craig Walton, Director at Framlington, commented: "The figures show that specialist funds, such as the Health Fund, which can be more volatile, can be an excellent choice for regular savers looking to capitalise on market dips. " The figures show that: · Just £100 invested monthly in the Framlington Health Fund over the last ten years would now be worth £36,266*. · In comparison, £100 invested monthly in the FTSE All Share Index over the last ten years would now only be worth £18,459*. Craig Walton commented further: "Time and time again it has been proved that regular savings can be an effective way to make money from uncertain stockmarkets."
