Where to invest salary as Analysts?

Starting at a BB in London soon and am looking at options of investing the bulk of extra money I’ll have once I start earning. For now, I’ve just thought of putting savings into ETFs.

What are others in my position thinking? What do senior bankers recommend?

 

Thinking about the same thing, browsing different ISA right now.If you are looking into buying a house down the line I guess there is the option of putting some money into the lifetime ISA? 

 

Max out your ISA every tax year and put it in a mix of ETFs (I have UK equities, Global large cap, Tech, and clean energies). 
Excess I have it in a more conservative portfolio with 65% equities / 25% Fixed income / 10% short term no risk investments (mainly my rainy day fund so liquid accounts paying fixed 0.5% p.a kinda thing, some was used during covid to buy at the bottom). 

Don’t ever pull out money of your ISA, but from your other portfolio the day you want to buy property etc, as ISA is taxfree money including capital appreciation.

 

Leveraged ETFs actually aren’t as good of a long term holding as you would think. Personally I can’t explain it well at all, but I looked into it pretty extensively and something about the way they function with like rebalancing or something gets in the way of returns

 

Well there’s nothing wrong with the suggestions. Just abt risk. I personally like to take a lot more risks than index funds.
 

Through your networks you should be able to find good VC or opportunities that are about to list but at a significant discount, possibly 90%+. Seen them a lot.

yes crypto is good too not for everyone. You could always invest in companies operating in this space to get op leverage
