We seem to hear about investing a lot these days, from friends’ big wins to horror stories in the news.
But as easy and important as it may be, first we need to get the whole picture.
We're the Rookie Investors. And we're here to get schooled!
How do you eat an elephant? Which part do you start with? What tools do you need? And what do you do if you’re vegan? Investing can feel like just as big a task to get your head around, and what works for our friends and influencers won't always be right for us. So what do we need to know to make better choices? Handily, you’re in exactly the right place to find out…
• We’ll reveal the truth behind common rumours and trends
• Explain the different types of investing and who they’re for
• Answer common questions and suggest simple apps
With a bit of honest guidance, we won't just be Rookies for long!
Learn the truth: investing rumours laid bare
