Three ways to build an ISA portfolio from scratch

Putting together a portfolio to weather different conditions is no easy task, even in calmer times. For beginner investors it can be particularly puzzling, given there are thousands of funds to choose from. To help cut through the noise, interactive investor’s Dave Baxter has put together three hypothetical portfolios for different risk levels: cautious, balanced and adventurous. Dave joins Kyle to explain his choices and how he arrived at the mix of assets. The duo also discuss ‘hands-off’ funds for investors on the lookout for low maintenance options.
