And a last option I forgot to add!

Sit in some safe option like fixed deposit and earn the 6-7% in a relatively "safe" way ?

I know a lot might say why not pull it out and invest in EU or US,

Thing is those markets are foreign to me and for some reason SA just feels safer ??  :wtf:

Hello to the forum!

I have held a portfolio in Allan grey balanced for around 5 years now and have been adding to it over this time

2012 and 13 did great and I hardly worried however I noticed for 2014 especially toward the end of the year I lost and my yearly growth was pretty low.

I work abroad in the Netherlands so not always easy to go visit an adviser plus want to keep costs to a minimum! Something, maybe intuition is pushing me to re-look this investment stratergy and perhaps look at some other options especially in the year ahead which might be a tough one in SA.

Can any one give some pointers on

A) investing on this side instead in a balanced type retail offering and taking money out AG SA to do so ?

B) rather diversify out of AG balanced and spread across some other funds ( Bonds, Equity, Balanced ) perhaps in other investment houses ( Satrix, coronation )

C) sit tight and hold on AG balanced is a decent place just carry on saving  :whistle:

I know investment advice is taboo, but to be honest out here it super difficult to get anybody to bounce ideas off

Hope i am in the right place!!
