These emerging markets can involve a high degree of risk so you may want to restrict them to a small proportion of your total portfolio. Of course, with people living longer and the potential of a longer life in retirement its worth remembering that there may still be a need to keep some exposure to the stockmarket even when work is a thing of the past.

This is because bonds are considered more secure than shares, so they shield you from stockmarket risk. Bond funds also pay regular interest – if you don’t need this income, you can reinvest it to achieve extra growth for the future.
