Ty. What do you invest in generally and what info sources do you use to determine “good” investments?

As much as possible to get close enough to the 20k p/a limit on tax free allowance. HSBC has a good platform and typically just go for a mix of their pre-made allocations, with the odd sector-focussed funds provided by external providers (e.g. infrastructure).

Vanguards is very good for that. I generally invest 80% in a index fund tracking sp500 (VUSA) and 20% for developing markets index fund (forgot the acronym sorry). I generally divide my income regardless of job of 30% of my net to invest. Atm I'm earning less than anybody on this thread as I am not london and trying to get into consulting from industry so my net is 2.4k/month total so my 30% is like 800ish. 30% is also apparently considered aggressive but it suits my lifestyle without any problems so why not then.
