Choosing investments

Through your account with Selftrade you'll have access to a wide range of investments. There's everything from the well-known FTSE100 'blue chip' companies and the UK's best-known Fund Managers to international shares, 'smallcaps' and specialist fund managers. Plus the rapidly expanding Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) sector.

For the more active, adventurous, or experienced investor there's an extensive choice of 'off-market' investments like CFDs and derivatives, as well as market-listed products such as Covered Warrants and Exchange Traded Commodities.

Getting the balance right

A well-balanced portfolio will contain a mix of some or all of these different types of investments, depending upon your overall investment objectives. You can learn more about this and different strategies too, in the Picking stocks part of our Research & Education section.

Whilst it's generally understood that investing in the stock market involves taking a higher level of risk in exchange for potentially higher returns, different types of investments carry different levels of risk and reward. Finding the class of investments – shares, gilts, funds, ETFs etc – that best suit your aims and then picking the right individual investment is key to successful investing.

We'll help you make those decisions by providing you with free access to information, news and analysis, and by providing tools to help you with your individual selections.
