Right! So today all but 2 of my investment funds have fallen to below zero! I had decided not to check how they were doing as I happened to have a quick glance at the markets as they opened this morning but couldn’t quite resist it. Seems like my BRIC fund is doing the best- lucky I stuck some extra money into it at the beginning of this month…
I’ve also decided that my exposure is not correct as I have 2 pure funds investing in China, in spite of one of them being higher risk than the other I think the combination with the BRIC market fund means that I’m overexposed to one particular country. It’s just difficult not to get dragged along by all the enthusiasm from experts and novices alike so I slipped up a bit in my choice.
What to choose instead I have no idea about yet but I have been ever so tempted to invest in the New Star Heart of Africa fund as I think there is some serious long term potential. The minimum investment is £12,500, however, and it’s deemed (understandably) as very high risk so in this case I will just keep dreaming and keep my money safe(er).
