Yes. I split my investment between low risk, good dividend blue chip stocks (National Grid, Tesco, BP), fixed income preference shares (NWBD, SAN) and smaller, high risk companies.
Current favourite that might interest the HN crowd is:
Monitise (MONI.L): Run backend systems on which on a lot of mobile banking and payment systems operate. Growing really quickly, and recently bought Clairmail, a US based company doing much the same. Wouldn't be surprised to see a NASDAQ listing in the next couple of years.
