With the new year upon us, investors will be looking at the 12 months ahead and wondering what challenges they face, however, anyone with a MoneyWeek magazine subscription is being given some advice to help them cope.
The publication has examined the top five issues which investors will have to face in the year ahead, including what is likely to happen with the euro and the ongoing saga of the UK's record low interest rates.
It also discusses the coalition government and what effect the Con-Dems are likely to have on the economy.
A particularly useful piece of advice given the financial landscape of the past few years will be how investors can help protect themselves against the unexpected. The publication's answer is to diversify, as the BP disaster last year showed that not even high-yielding blue chips are 100 per cent safe.
Finally, the magazine examines the performance of gold investment and questions whether the bubble surrounding the precious metal is likely to pop in the near future.
