    Question by Ben

    I get my stakeholders pension next year and would like to invest £2000 but don't know where to start where should I invest my money

    Hi Ben

    It would not typically be advisable to withdraw funds from a stakeholder pension (which is very tax-efficient and has investment options inside) just to then re-invest the funds into another investment product, however, if you have surplus funds to invest and your investment time horizon is at least 5 years, investing in a Stocks & Shares ISA could be worth considering. Boring Money has a good guide to get you started on this - https://www.boringmoney.co.uk/learn/investing-guides/product-guides/stocks-shares-isa

    I hope this helps, and best of luck with your investing journey.
