Peter,
S&P Nov 1980 114
S&P May 2010 1150
Which I make out to be 8% compunded return over 30 years. (before fees of say .5% p.a.). So while performance over past 10 years looks skewed as 2000 was height of dot com era, 20 year returns of 6.6% compounded and 30 year returns of 8% compounded look pretty convincing.
Personally I like selling far out of the money calls. It adds another few %
50% in Index tracking ETF say S&P 500 or FTSE 100
50% in ETF tracking AA corporate bonds of say S&P 500, FTSE ,etc
Be aware that by choosing 'risk free', you are significantly lowering the likely return you will achieve. In fact, you will opening yourself up to the risk of having the investment growth eaten away by inflation.I need to invest a sum of money for my 2 kids that we have accumulated over some years. It will be for their 3rd level education in 10/15 years times. It needs to be as risk free as is possible. .
I need to invest a sum of money for my 2 kids that we have accumulated over some years. It will be for their 3rd level education in 10/15 years times. It needs to be as risk free as is possible. What are my options? I really don't know where to start looking and what to look for - any basic research I've done leaves me more confused. I know that stocks are too risky for my needs, apart from that, I know nothing about what to avoid and what to look out for. Are there general website that might help me compare offers from different banks/bonds etc?
Thanks for any advise.
