Investment ideas from our experts
Junior SIPP investments are made with an investment horizon spanning multiple decades. When investing for such a long period you can follow an adventurous strategy that will hopefully bring greater rewards, although you shouldn’t take more risk than you’re comfortable with.
Our team of experts have recently highlighted three funds they feel present promising investment opportunities for Junior SIPP investors.
HL Multi-Manager Special Situations
Our favourite funds from around the world in a single investment, looked after by our expert team. We think this fund’s multi-manager approach justifies its extra costs and believe it could act as the core to a Junior SIPP portfolio.
Invests in higher-risk smaller companies in faster-growing developing countries – a potent combination for Junior SIPP investors seeking to grow capital over the long term.
Ben Whitmore invests in companies that have fallen on hard times but where there’s scope for a transformation in fortunes. The manager’s contrarian approach could bring diversification to a Junior SIPP portfolio.
