I have an Income trust with Jupiter

I was wondering if it worth leaving it invested or withdraw the money---with shares dropping it has lost £1000 in the last 7 months

cheers for any advice

I am in the same boat, second time around - ridden the market through 2000 and now again - up by 48% at one point and now down by 25% - if you can bear the long term, I am hoping the market will do the usual "up" but I am planning on a 5 year wait. Janice

Hi Colini, all investors are in the same boat as you. Equities have taken a real knock over the past 12 months, but your decision will ultimately be decided by how long you can afford to invest your money for. If you need access to your cash now it's probably wise to withdraw your money, but if you can afford to keep it invested over the next five years you should leave it invested. Historically equities have always outperformed cash, so if you have the stomach for a rollercoaster ride you could be rewarded for sticking to your guns.
