Hi everyone,
I’m currently invested quite heavily invested a Legal & General Global Technology Index Fund, which is heavily weighted in US technology stocks. I’m confident that this fund will perform well in the long term, and am well aware that right now is a fantastic opportunity to buy if you’re looking for a long term investment. However, with the ongoing risks (like the impact of Trump’s tariffs on US tech companies), I’m starting to reconsider my strategy as I may need to access this money in the next 5 years for a house deposit.
Given the relatively short to medium-term nature of my goal (roughly 5 years), I’m wondering if anyone has advice on shifting my investment strategy or if there’s a more balanced approach I should consider.
Has anyone here gone through a similar situation or have any recommendations for a 5-year investment portfolio? Would you stick with equities like tech, or do you think a more diversified portfolio (maybe with bonds or REITs) would be safer in this timeframe?
I’d love to hear about your favorite investment strategies for a 5-year horizon!
Thanks in advance!
