| Returns |
You're taking a bigger risk here, and the potential for returns
reflects just that. People make fortunes investing directly in stock
market equities... and people lose their shirts too! |
The level of risk increases when you select a fund focused on one
asset type. Your money is then subject to the perils of that market,
with the potential to share in the exceptional gains that can be generated. |
| Accessibility |
Immediate, provided there is a buyer for your shares on the market. |
Available on demand subject to the bid and offer price spread. |
| Ideal Term |
Longer term investments, when you pick the right shares, tend to
provide the best returns of all. |
Traditionally, the longer you stay invested the better, but half
the battle is knowing the right time to sell out (or take your profits
and invest elsewhere). |

| Risk |
Traditionally property was considered safe, but right now - the
risk is higher. |
| Returns |
Despite current high house prices, long term values are expected
to continue to rise. |
| Accessibility |
Not so easy to convert property to liquid funds at short notice. |
| Ideal Term |
Holding property over longer terms such as the life of a mortgage
should provide high performance returns on your investment. |
When deciding to invest in one of these options be
sure to appreciate the level of risk involved. Remember that a long term
focus will smooth out most of the short term market falls.
