Recently at MAP we had what we think of as a success story, and no it didn’t happen overnight.

A couple who have used the MAP investment platform since 2011 found themselves this month, after a good period on the stock markets, having total gains over the total time of their investment period in excess of £½million.

The couple had followed a fairly balanced investment strategy of 30/40/30 – which is investing in three funds at 10% each in cautious low risk, four funds at 10% each in middle risk and three funds at 10% each in high risk.

We had monitored this money every quarter since inception, and had received the clients’ permission to switch funds as and when we thought it necessary. The clients admitted early on that they had no knowledge of all of these funds, and so basically let us get on with it, which is what we did.

Calculations show that we have managed to get them 7.88% per year every year since we started in 2011. Bear in mind that whilst the FTSE100 achieved an index figure of 7,500 in August 2017, it started off in 2011 at about 5,700. At February 2016, it had fallen to 5,700 from around 7,000 in April 2015, so there have been some lows as well as highs.

The MAP investment process aims to hold clients investments in solid funds which perform consistently well. That is all we are trying to do – it’s not rocket science, but, with rigorous research and hard work, we can deliver strong returns.

If you have money to invest, why not try the MAP way; it really works. Call us on 0345 241 1808 or e-mail us on enquiries@mapfinances.co.uk.
