@JoJoSM2 Brexit will hurt the most on money that you want to use outside the UK - travel, imports etc. However the upside is that those with assets invested outside the UK benefit. My investments are held in markets representing Global Cap, but retain a slight UK bias. I will therefore share in that upside as the grow. Volatility is expected, but only really a concern to those accessing assets to either generate income (sequencing risk), or switching asset class.
Inflation means equities continue to be a good investment. Ensuring the vehicle adds variety (Bonds and GIA, for money beyond pension and ISA) and the asset allocation is not too heavy towards one class is sensible. Inflation is a silent killer.
Property, once ones home is taken into account, is another asset class. One that seems to be disproportionately favoured in the UK. I think the biggest concern here is legislative change, and that doesn’t even cover, liquidity and taxation burden.
If you look at the long term returns on property they don’t exceed a global balanced portfolio - not something people tend to recognised. Most people gear up for property which does skew results. I gear up in the markets - mortgagee whilst investing (or used to be).
Debt is a consideration, but future returns and rates should be considered, not always current, but that’s a more complex and individual point.
