Types of Investments

There are many different types of investment. Broadly speaking, they fit into four asset classes:

Cash
Fixed Interest
Shares
Property

Within each asset class there are investments to suit different kinds of risk, duration, returns and liquidity. There are also different ways of investing. You can take the ‘DIY’ route and invest directly in one or more of the asset classes. Or, you can invest in a managed fund where fund managers make a wide range of investment decisions for you.
