A sensible view with this sort of investment is to commit to the medium to long term (18 months to several years) in order to achieve the desired level of return. But be aware that, occasionally, exits can happen relatively quickly. In the case of tax efficient investments, different benefits accrue depending on length of time investments are held. Typically three years is the minimum in order to maximise tax efficiency.
