Money questions remain

Investor confidence has hit its highest level in two years but confusion remains over where people should put their money next, a survey by ASB has found.

The September-quarter figures show a net 14 per cent expected a better return on their investment in the next year - a turnaround of 25 points in the past three months and the biggest change in the survey's 11-year history. But people were still weighing up their options when it came to getting the best returns over the next year.

Confidence in rental property and bank deposits had fallen although they still remained the most popular.
