Yeah I think a lot of young people are in the same boat. Buying a house by yourself is nearly impossible these days on a normal salary. Shared ownership looks like a promising route into the housing market.

Wouldn't recomend shared ownership. It is a big stretch and you might have to save save save.

Most of my friends who live in the south either inherited the property, bought a small leasehold flat (which can be cheaper than freehold depending on the number of years left on the lease), or bought property with their partner/a family member. No one I know has bought anything bigger than a flat by themselves if they were a first time buyer.

Don't buy shared ownership, you will end up paying more overall plus some places refuse to let you ladder up 100% ownership.

Make your money work for you/ Maximise the income you do have - Don't just keep it in a current account or cash ISA with lousy interest rates, put it in a solid vehicle, such as a balanced investment trust with different types of companies.
Therefore, over a period of time, your money will compound, and a portion of this can then be used for a deposit for a house or if you want to then you could probably buy somewhere outright (although this is not a very efficient use of cash unless you have loads of it).
So over the 3/5/10 year time period that it would take you to save, you will have promotions or job moves and also your compounded money to count on. Its not easy and takes research rather than just throwing money in individual shares or average passive funds, but it can be a great way to turbocharge your disposable. Its not an overnight process however, and should only be done if you have spare money, on top of your living costs, and if you are comfortable with things not increasing in a linear fashion.

why is the total return of City on London investment trust down over the last three years? A cash ISA would've done better over five years.

FYI, that's the only investment trust I own.

However, lots of pundits at the moment seem to think that old world companies such as these will see somewhat of a resurgence as the economy starts to kick back into life, particularly aviation and oil stocks.
I lean more towards Consumer discretionary companies + Tech + Bioscience companies + Health etc. The trust focuses more on Capital growth and only has a yield of 0.75%, as most of the companies are focused on growth and therefore don't pay a dividend like the old school established companies. The trust im in launched in March 2018 and is up 201% in those 3 years (obviously last year was a crazy year and no doubt skewed the figure massively).

I just checked out the trust, it looks very "old world" and 20th century, relying on holdings like tobacco and oil which are less likely to have capital growth but more likely to be favoured by pensioners and pension funds because they produce a reliable dividend. I think it said the yield is 5.02 %, so it won't really shoot the lights out in terms of share price growth, but is steady and reliable. British investors are famously conservative, especially retail investors, and so as long as they get reliable dividends each quarter then i don't think they care too much about the share price.

So you don't have five or ten year performance? The trust I am invested launched in 1860.

Baillie Gifford American launched in 1997 and has made solid returns for people. I'm averse to open ended vehicles on the whole however, and prefer the stability and less panic in closed ended investments.
