Since watching your channel I invest in ETF funds with Vanguard monthly and I put 2k in Ratesetter. As a relatively cautious investor I love seeing the interest on ratesetter mount up as I know it won't go down again! The Vanguard investments are long term and I don't worry too much about the ups and downs.

[HassanPoyo]

I put £1, 000 in vanguard. £500 in life strategy 100% equity and £500 in S&P500

[maurociocchetti]

I’m going to open a vanguard lifestrategy 80% equity 20% bonds. I want to open it starting with 2000 pounds. Later on I will add other money. It is my first investment so I don’t want take too many risks. Lifestrategy seems amazingly diversified at very low cost.

Question of the Day.
I have only been investing for a year but have spilt my money between:
Cash ISA and
Peer to Peer and Crowdfunding such as Kufflink, Uown, Brewdog.
Physical Gold and Silver.
Funds with Hargreaves Lansdown split between sectors to ensure diversification
Shares (14 in total) in Freetrade which includes two ETFs
And two robo investors Wealthify and Wealthsimple.
My investments not including Cash are about £15, 000 and now I have had the first year I am ready to invest more. In fact I am going to start an ETF portfolio on my Freetrade account similar to one of your last videos, love the idea of owning the world haha. It seems a lot more fun to choose ETF funds than to stick it into one All World ETF. Cheers and great videos guys

It would be good to hear more from you about property investment, so many out there with agendas trying to sell courses about it but you guys seem more trustworthy and you've mentioned property a few times now

[RobCLynch]

I invest 1k a month in global index trackers. Despite the global pandemic, my global tech fund is up 52% per year. So global index funds are my favourite.

Looks like First Direct have nerfed their savings account to 2.75% in the short time since you posted this :(. Any other options with good interest?

[joshuaphillips]

Hi guys

Great videos it's been very helpful. I have watched the back catalogue but I have a question. I know you promotion properties (passive income) but would you say a building a dividend stock portfolio or a growth stock investment portfolio when starting is best?

Keep up the fantastic work.

When drip feeding money into a stocks and shares isa is it better to do this weekly or monthly ie 100 a week or 400 a month for example?

[pistonslapuk]

Hi guys, is there any investment ISA in the UK were you can buy the NOBL fund at all? Thank you.

[djwynny]

brand new to all this... i have been using a practice account on trading 212... from what i understand something like vanguard s and p 500 is the place to put your money long term ? would it be pointless putting amounts of money you get spare like £20 here £50 there as im self employed and never know what my monthly income will be

[sparkymark]

Hi Money Unshackled. My parents have £100k in savings both in their 70s with a low to medium attitude to risk, what and where would you think to place these savings to make a small growth over 5-10 years? Thanks

[lukeryans]

Nexo.io - 8% on EUR, slight volatility on currency fluctuation (at least until GBP deposits are accepted under £50k).

[PhilMcCool]

Do you receive dividends from the Life Strategy Fund since it involves a wide range of shares?

[alvrufilhu]

What do you guys think about the app MoneyBox?

[RooRichy]

Have you guys done a 'order of opperations'? Like the money guy have done, I'm looking for a UK version.
