From Moore Dixon Isle of Man
There is more than one way to invest in the wine industry; wine stocks, wine funds and even investing in a winery are all alternatives to investing in actual physical wine.
Too often the media portrays the investment world as some sort of a gamble – REAL investment should NEVER be a gamble.
Notwithstanding any bad experiences, how do we go about spotting a good investment, from say an average one (or indeed a bad one)?
It’s important firstly to understand that markets work in a cycle, similar to (and somewhat connected to) the economic cycle.
The Island’s pension reforms are quite different from those enacted in the UK, for a number of reasons.
I really like active management, but I also like passive management. But which is best? There’s only one way to find out…….fight!
Last time I spoke about the case for ‘active investment management’ and all its merits. Now I’m going to make the case for ‘passive investment management’.
So, let’s begin with a question: ‘Do actively managed funds offer better performance and value–for–money for clients than their counterparts?’ ... The case for Active Management
So, if you have been looking at retiring at 60 that means having to fund your retirement for an incredible 25 years – almost another working lifetime!
You may (or may not) be aware of this, but on our Island our pension legislation allows us to hold Buy-to-Let (“BTL”) residential as well as commercial property in a pension.
