    Hi all.

    I recently investedin the Trillogy II fund (Bloxham)

    There has been a small % drop since I joined. Now, I am not freaking out (or anything of the sort) at the small % drop in the fund, but I am unsure if it is the best fund to be in given the current climate.

    I don't have a great knowledge of the economy, so it is just my opinion that we in Ireland are headed for a downturn. With that in mind, this fund focusess on mostly Irish commecial property and the share price of Irish banks.


    Are other investers here happy to keep their money in Irish interests?

    I see funds in the pacific basin securties fund is doing great currently, is anyone investing there?

    Thoughts and so forth please.

    Much of my pension is riding Trilogy II, which is doing fine generally. I'm not a bit surprised if it has probably dropped given the current ISEQ hammering.

    Anyways I wouldn't start worrying yet, but you can always talk to your fin advisor and move your funds to a safer haven etc.

    Having all your investments tied up in a single country wouldn't be my preferred option. I would look to
    a) decide on how much risk I wanted to accept and
    b) spread my money over multiple investment types and countries to get that level of risk

    So for example, if you wanted a medium to high risk portfolio you might go with
    40% US
    40% Europe
    20% Asia/Pacific

    As ever, don't look at past performance and switch funds purely on that - you'll just end up chasing last years tail, although I do think Asia is becoming the engine of growth.

    IMO ...Asia is becoming the engine of recovery!
