Good Evening.

Started SSIA April 2002
Irish life Saverscope split between Globalscope 3 and Saverscope 3
Payed max amount for duration of scheme ie Euro 254 per month.
Fund matured April 07 and after tax was worth Euro 23290

At that time I decided to leave fund in place and continue to pay into it at the same rate as a long term investment .
I recieved my statement recently and the fund is now worth E 22715.

I realise that this is a long term investment ( i was planning for up to ten years ) and funds such as this have taken a hammering over the past few months but do you think i could be investing this money more wisely.
I would prefer to keep the money in a fund such as this as the idea of opening various accounts and drip feeding money into them does not appeal to me .
My pension ,mortgage etc are taken care of so this is just a "nest egg"
Should I sit tight and wait for the recovery ?.
Thanks for any advice you can offer.
 
W200, seems you have gotten the brunt of the market issue at the moment. Your initial plan was long term so perhaps you should stick to your guns, however, since you mention that you are concerned then maybe cut and run is the best option.
