Property I reckon.


If you are comfortable making your own investments, a self-invested
personal pension (SIPP)

You can include commercial property in a SIPP.

Lots and lots and lots of children.

Hopefully one of them will grow up to be a loyal and benevolent millionaire.

That's assuming they grow up to like you (& vice versa), they aren't
expensive to run, and you don't have (m)any SKI holidays....

The OP perhaps should have specified commercial or domestic property?

We decided to invest in domestic property mainly because (apart from dips
now and then) it always seemed to go up.

You also get to live in your investment (which you can't really do with
stocks/shares/bonds/cash or (usually) commercial property.

The best choice depends very much on the starting point; for example

http://www.affinity-consulting.com/G...rns-v-Indices-
in-GBP.pdf

From 10 years ago property is an easy winner. 15 years, still a winner but
closer. 20 years ago (or 5) and the stock market comes out ahead. Although
the figures only go up to 2010 so are well out of date.

Best advice? Buy cheap and sell dear. ;-)

Put another way, if you can plan to buy during a slump then you will see a
massive return versus the standard graphs. I saw that with a pension plan
running from 2005 to 2009; I realised afterwards that I was buying
investments as the stock market slumped and stopped about when the market
bottomed out. The gains were unusual just because I was investing through
2008 and 2009. Buying housing then would also have been a very good
investment (although not many people were selling).

Mostly, though, with any investment strategy the usual Irish advice
applies; "If I was going there I wouldn't start from here".

Only if it is a 'full' SIPP, and these are in the minority and
tend to have much higher annual charges.

More likely you will be destitute by the time they are adults
and they'll just make an obscene gesture in you general direction
when you get too old to work and ship you off to a nursing home.

Mine isn't a full SIPP and it includes commercial property.
