    My pension pot

    Just had a meeting with IFA to discuss my portfolio. At the minute cash is invested across a diverse range of stocks. Nearly £1000 a month I put into the pot.

    I've just learnt the interest on the portfolio grew to 21% on the last 12 months to date. Boomed!!

        Well done.

          Meanwhile in other news the FTSE 100 has gone up 31% in the last 12 months:

          FTSE 100 - 12 month data

          Those fund managers are top notch.

            Excellent, so instead of a low cost tracker returning me 31% I can pay a very expensive fund manager or IFA and get 21%!

            Where do I sign!

                    You never count your money when your sittin' at the table, there'll be time enough for counting when the dealin' is done.
