    Hi Guys,

    I am looking for some advice and recommendations. I have been reading about ETF's recently as I want to try and get myself sorted as best I can for the future. I have cash of various amounts maturing from BOI saving accounts which were in for 5-7 year period and are coming to an end but have not done well. On the ETF's are they something that are managed for you as I would not be good on this front, if yes can you recommend a low cost company I read about Vanguard and SP500 but am not sure exactly how they work ie do i need to be managing them daily or can this be doen for me.



    I am not sure ETF's are for me so if anyone likes to give me an overview of what I should be looking at I would really appreciate it. I have 3 different amounts currently in the 10 year gov bonds, a small pension with Canada Life and New Ireland which I haven't paid into in around 6 years as it was bad so currently just saving into a current account. And I have the BOI money now which I want to do something with.



    Also could you give me a recommendation for an independent financial advisor.



    Thanks in advance.

    hi esto
    you have done some research and want to invest in a etf
    why not go for something riskier
    not sure I know a lot about the stock market but I take risks
    the last couple of years they have paid off
    I think that mexico are now producing more cars than japan for the American market with foreign companies
