The Telegraph take

By Sophie Christie personal finance reporter

Marianna Hunt's third Millennial Investor column, which follows her quest to invest her way on to the property ladder, explores how she chose her first fund.

The number of options out there is quite overwhelming, she writes, but one fund cropped up several times in advice from readers (including, importantly, her dad). Click here to find out which fund has caught her eye. Do you think she picked the right one?

If you're planning to invest for your children, Telegraph Money spoke to four experts to find out which funds would fit well into a Junior Isa, or Jisa. As a Jisa is typically invested for long time, taking on more risk is usually the best option. So where should you put your money?

We've got a whole host of investment tips, tricks and expert debate on how to grow your money on our new Facebook group. Click here or search for Telegraph Investing 101 to join.

Manjinder Chahal said about why is the leasehold crisis harder to solve than space travel?: "Another problem with leasehold is the insurance. I am forced to buy insurance through my freeholder only. That is nearly 1,000 for a two-bedroom flat. This can be bought in open market for only 250. There is no way to get out out from this."

John Giles said about 'Evans Cycles won't honour my 50 leaving gift voucher': "Gift cards with an expiry date look like a scam. Even without an expiry date, I fail to see the benefit of a gift card over cash – it only serves to limit the choices available to the recipient."

DA White said about new tax rules could spark another avoidance crisis: "IR35 is stupid. It should be repealed. Britain needs a flexible, entrepreneurial, knowledge based workforce. IR35 is cretinous socialist legislation introduced by Gordon the Moron and if there was a proper Conservative party they'd have repealed it by now. I will NEVER vote Conservative again, especially after the utter mess that they have made of Brexit."
