[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are excellent products to consider for both new and experienced SIPP investors. These diversified vehicles help spread risk across a wide range of assets. And the very best ones do this while still delivering stunning returns. Take the iShares Digital Security ETF (LSE:LOCK), HANetf Future of Defence ETF (LSE:NATP), and iShares Core MSCI Europe ETF (LSE:SMEA) for instance. These fantastic funds have risen between 11% and 42% since 1 January. I’m convinced they can keep surging, too, which is why I’ve bought them in my own portfolio. But what could drive them…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images I’m looking for the best dividend stocks to buy in the New Year. And I believe my research has uncovered some absolute beauties. Central Asia Metals, Target Healthcare REIT, TBC Bank, and M&G (LSE:MNG) are four passive income shares I think demand serious consideration. With each of them also trading on ultra-low price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios, there’s room for significant share price gains in 2026 too. Want to know why? Copper giant A strong copper price is helping Central Asia Metals to return plenty of cash to investors. The business — which mines for base metals…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images UK stocks are often overlooked by international investors and this is especially true of the FTSE 250. As a result, it can be a really interesting place to look for potential opportunities. With 2026 on the way, I think there are a few stocks that look very attractive from an investment perspective. But one in particular stands out to me. Under-the-radar opportunities FTSE 250 stocks often get missed by institutional investors and there are good reasons for this. They’re often too small and the companies aren’t particularly well-known outside the UK. Given this, they can…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images After a 35% decline this year, could the Diageo (LSE:DGE) share price be set to bounce back in 2026? Analysts are optimistic, but investors need to think carefully. The FTSE 100 spirits company has a new CEO who sees clear potential for the business. But there are still some big challenges facing the company in the year ahead. Analyst forecasts In general, analyst price targets for Diageo over the next 12 months are pretty positive. From what I can see, the average is £20.93, which is 25% above the current share price. That would be…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images My top passive income stock for dividend investors to consider buying in 2026 is Admiral (LSE:ADM). The FTSE 100 firm is an outstanding operation that I think is just getting better. I’m generally not a fan of insurance companies (despite their high dividend yields) but there are two exceptions and this is one of them. I’ll tell you the other one at the end. The class of the field The most important thing I look for in a stock to buy is a durable competitive advantage. With the majority of insurers, I find it nearly…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Buying individual UK stocks rather than a tracker can really pay off if investors get it right. Five shares on the FTSE 100 doubled investors’ money over the last year, in one case rocketing more than 400%. Can they do it again? And the winner is… Fresnillo shares The biggest winner of the lot was gold and silver miner Fresnillo (LSE: FRES). Its 410% gain would have turned £10,000 into £51,000. It’s an obvious beneficiary of the soaring gold price, which climbed 65% this year to punch through yet another all-time high, trading above $4,400…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Shares of Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust (LSE:SMT) have had a very strong end to the year. As I type, they’ve shot up more than 10% since the start of December, putting them on course for a solid 20%+ return for 2025. The FTSE 100 trust was already one of my top pension holdings at the start of the year, and it’s even bigger now. So should I sell my Scottish Mortgage shares in 2026? Let’s discuss. Unconventional Scottish Mortgage aims to invest in the most transformative growth companies worldwide, whether private or public. But unlike…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images As a self-proclaimed value investor, I’ve a tendency to believe that the best shares to buy at any given moment are the worst recent performers. They’re cheaper and typically offer higher yields than before. Life moves in cycles, so why not buy near the bottom? Sadly, it’s not that simple. Shares typically fall because they’ve lost their way or face an external challenge they haven’t yet conquered, and may never do. Despite that, I think the FTSE 100’s two biggest fallers of 2025 have massive recovery potential. I hope so, anyway, given that I hold…
