Advantages: Global exposure and very cheap at the moment. Disadvantages: 5.25% initial charge but can be reduced with execution only broker.
This relatively new fund is poised to go much higher. The recent over-correction of world markets has made this a very cheap investment. Theme funds are trendy at the moment and many groups are jumping on the bandwagon, but Invesco have over three years experience of running this fund and have done very well so far. I'm about to put my second lump sum in a month into this fund, with the expectation of doubling my money within three years. Yes, I know, investments can go down as well as up and you can say "I told you so" if I'm nowhere near my target in 3 years time, but I believe they have the geographic and thematic mixes about right. With about 50% invested in the US and the rest distributed throughout the world, the main themes they are concentrating on are as follows:
Technology 24.0
Telecommunications 15.2
Consumer ...
Advantages: Solid frame, very good brakes and smooth gears. Disadvantages: Tyres are too chunky for road riding, if thats what your into.
This bike is ideal for anybody looking to do any sort of offroading. It is well equipped with tektro auriga hydraulic disk brakes which are silky smooth and have plenty of braking power. The great thing about the GT is that it has a lock-out on the forks which makes riding on roads a bit easier. I find this useful as i commute on it. I chose a mountain bike because i prefered the riding position and the fact i can take it off-road if i so choose. The tyres that come on the bike are chunky enough for off roading but for road riding they have a fair bit of rolling resistance, i swapped mine over for a set of semi-slicks for road riding. This bike is well worth buying and i would reccomend it to anybody. ...
Advantages: Light, nice ride, good brakes Disadvantages: Chain should have shield,brakes bit squeeky,only availible from halfords
I brought this as my last bike, a saracen, died on me, it was really in a terrible mess! I brought this for £400 in Halfords, which is a pretty good deal for what you get. The technician was very helpful in there, otherwise I probably would have brought a bike from a Local Bike Store.
So, what do you get for your £400 here? Well, a light and strong bike, with hyrdaulics, 24 gears, thick tyres, nice wheels with strong spokes.
"GT Triple Triangle Aluminium frame with butted tubes
Suntour XCR 100mm travel fork with hydraulic rebound damping and on the fly lock-out
Tektro Auriga Comp hydraulic disc brakes 180/160mm rotors
Shimano Deore/ Alivio 24 speed gearing
Truvativ Isoflow chainset
Tioga Factory XC tyres
WTB SX24 rims
SDG Bel Air saddle
GT over size bar and stem"
All in all, a good bike for you money. So far, been so good ...
