Advice on investment growth strategies

niceoneted said:
What about finding an entrepreneur or two that have very solid business plans with viable businesses who are unable to get finance for a start up and invest with them taking a portion of the business. It's a bit of thinking outside the box (I think) but might be what you'd like. Maybe it would interest your wife either to work with some of these companies.

I don't have a business background :( and so wouldn't have the formal skills to assess the viability of a particular business. I'd also feel exposed if I put a large chunk of my money into just one company (ignoring my single tech stock foray!). Better to have diversification of investments.

What do you think about BES fund investments?
Tax advantageous. Spread over several companies. Assuming a competent fund manager who presumbaly would have the relevant business analysis & accounting skills. A 5~6 year fixed timeframe. Probably lots of good companies other there with viable businesses that just can't get support from their banks nowadays.
