Investing in the Stock Market: Long-Term Recommendations
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Bridget Cleverly: "Taking a long term view, I would be looking to the Far East for the best growth potential, especially if using a regular savings plan. By investing on a regular basis, you iron out the ups and downs in the market. When looking at the UK, the specialist smaller company funds also have a lot of potential."
FIDELITY
Ann Davis: "Japan and the Far East have been unfashionable but they are now showing signs of coming back to life."
PERPETUAL
Roger Cornick: "There are no bargains anymore but over the long term, Japan is attractive. All the bad news is already in the prices there, where the index has fallen from over 39,000 a decade ago to around 17,000 today. Also look at the rest of the Far East.
"Closer to home, demographic changes and the switchover from debt to equity financing makes mainland Europe attractive."
JUPITER
Stephen Glynn: "The UK and Europe will provide lots of opportunities for the long-term investor."
