Toy investments 'could make £100,000'

Thu 17th Dec 2009

Investing in toy companies could result in returns of as much as £100,000 in years to come, according to The Motley Fool.

Research by the website into the top toy manufactures of the last deacde has revealed that, if investments are made into such businesses each year, it could result in 6.6 per cent compound returns collectively.

For example, Hasbro has seen its share prices increase by 157 per cent since 2002 when its Beyblades toy was the top selling childrens Christmas gift.

David Kuo, director at The Motley Fool, said that investing money into toy firms for a child's future could be far more beneficial than getting them the must-have gift this Christmas.

He added: "Consequently, you don't have to invest a hefty lump sum when you buy shares but instead drip the money in a little at a time."

The Motley Fool predicted earlier in the month that further gains are possible in the property market, despite shares already doubling since March this year.
