Sure - not sure how aggressive your investments are nor your age but high single digit easily possible 

The good old reliables are a FTSE 250 tracker and a UK small companies fund, both bought at the bottom of the market in COVID, when I started all this. 

 

I've got about 10% of my money in two aggressive funds, global.marketsnand tech. They've both had the whack this week. But Dems da rules with those funds.

If in doubt zoom out. Returns from the stock market over the long term far outweigh any bank account interest rate where you may have put your money instead. DCA over the long term, ride the pull-backs and crashes, and after 40 years you'll be happy as Larry Fink

You sound like a man with 'skin in the game' 

Bit, not much. Chucking it in pension atm before the tax breaks evaporate

True, tho I just (before this week's bump) stuck a lump in a 5% ISA as a safe haven away from a mind numbingly dull with profits fund where I was beavering money away for kids uni ...i'll take 5% for the next 12 months

They haven’t confirmed any of them - it’s all rumour atm 

It’s inevitable - we’ve just got to wait until October to find out

They’ve pretty much leaked every possible change - how do you work out what they might do?

On the basis they have promised not to raise taxes then it leaves not much else to go at - pensions being the likely lamb to slaughter. Not here to discuss politics, separate thread for that - I made a throwaway comment that I was sticking money in my pension before possible tax breaks disappear, it’s not that deep :thumbup:

I know 

I didn’t answer your post 

someone mentioned they’d have a look at their plans - I was just pointing out that it’s tough to know what those are going to be cos pretty much every possible change has been trailed. 
 

taking advantage of a current break makes some sense in case it disappears. (As long as that action doesn’t negatively impact a current long term advantage - otherwise you’re just guessing )

I kind of use my pension pot as my investment pot too. It's a medium risk one weighted against countless markets, those who trade on those funds would know a lot more than me and have a lot more time to trade than I would, that was my logic anyway. Not sure if this is the right thing to do or not but anyway, will keep a look out for any removal of tax benefits with a pension in the future though.

Not quite there for me. Got to a high of 9% growth a few weeks ago, then the bump, back at around 7% now on the hear. Happy ish with that.

A question for people who invest with Vanguard, do they not have an app?

Just to add to what Lako said I personally use Dodl to invest in Vanguard which has an easy to use App.

 

Dodl is basically AJ Bell, I use it purely because I'm far from an expert and it was my first time putting my money anywhere other than in a bank.
