The Lemon Fool

Ignoring your own circumstances, looking forward at macro level for the next 5 years, assuming everything else is equal, with £20k which you must invest now, which would you opt for? (50/50 is not an option!, nor is 'neither'.)

Thanks.

My answer is based on your reference to a 5 year period from now.

Well neither is the option I'm choosing 'cos you haven't explained the circumstances of the purchaser, nor the purpose of the purchase (you might start with TR or income), nor why the choice is between these, despite the similarity in names, totally different vehicles; a global (well, half non-UK) fund of funds vs a FTSE 100 high yielders IT.

mc2,
Sorry but it seems you have rather missed the point. If you've time perhaps you would like to re-read the Q. and make a selection?
Thanks.
(Yes, they are totally different vehicles and a five year macro view the request.)

i know this isnt answering the OQ , ---

but its TOTAL RETURNS for me.

Perhaps if I've missed "the point" it's because you haven't explained it, and re-parroting the question (which I did take time to read, thanks), doesn't do so, so I don't think I'll bother, thanks.

mc2,
Well I am not sure what is difficult to understand about making a choice of one of two vehicles over a five year term considering purely a macro view, but thanks anyway.

FWIW, the result was a tie, hence your vote would have had influence, so it's a shame you couldn't participate as you'd taken the trouble to reply.

Thanks to all who took part.

My vote would have been for the growth holding.
