Hi I'm new to share investing. I previously gave it a go in the property market with mixed results and am giving that away. I read martin Hawes latest retirement book and realised I should have more of my planned portfolio in global equities. I decided I'll invest with funds. I saw on the asb share trading website you can buy into Uk investment trusts. I thought that might be a good way to get overseas exposure. I have $200k and thought I'd average in over 6-7 uk trusts over the next 18 months. Can someone advise me if that would be a good way to get diversification out of the nz sharemarket. Any advise would be appreciated especially if you gave had experience with uk investment trusts. I think the U.S. is where there might be an upswing. But you read all sorts of things! Read another article saying Buffett thought Europe was a good proposition. Who knows!!
