David Hughes: Yes. I moved all my cash ISAs into stock ISAs and started to invest in the stock market again. I did this as I was getting poor returns on cash savings, and had more confidence in the markets.
Maurice Lawson: No, I just kept building on my commercial property portfolio. I how have half of my equity portfolio in property.
Simon Tizard: I completely sold out of fixed income. I prefer equities and cash because the markets have done very well, but I’m nervous about a correction before a rise. In the last quarter I completely sold out of fixed income because I felt it had done well, but with interest rates rising there was no more upside to have this year.
