Where to put cash for 5 years

[Fortunate Sun]

Between savings and a severance package I have abpout €100k to invest, I don't want to tie it up for more than 5-7 years, and I while I am prepared to take a risk on investments that go down as well as up I am wary of losing it all to a rogue fund.

I would be gratefulfor any advice as to the best way to position it?

Difficult to say without a Money Makeover style post giving more info about your overall financial and personal circumstances.

Most of the main life insurance companies offer unit-linked funds you can invest in.

While some may not perform as well as others, if you stay with the main life insurance companies you are realistically not going to invest in a 'rogue' fund.

Don’t want to or can’t?

You won’t lose it all unless:

- You invest in something with borrowings attached to it (i.e. leverage).

- You don’t diversify.

- You invest with a smaller provider who can ‘go rogue’.
