    Regular cash savers are putting away £273 a month. Investors, £344. That's not a wealth gap – that's a knowledge gap.

    What are the features cash savers say make it easier to start investing?

    • Start small: 83% of savers say they’d be more likely to invest if they could start with as little as £1–£50 per month

    • Keep it simple: ~45% want flexibility, transparency and simplicity

    • Confidence: 43% want a step-by-step guide

    Every investor starts somewhere. Small steps, big impact.

    Regular cash saver = Respondents who said they 'do not currently have investments but are open to investing in the future' and who are regularly making contributions to cash savings account or ISA.

    READ THE FULL STUDY

    Ready to Turn Risk into Opportunity?

    The Bridging the gap study by BlackRock reveals that 69% of savers say they don't like taking chances with their money, while 49% prefer lower returns in exchange for safety. But not investing carries its own risks?

    Here's the reality: £1 invested in the S&P 500 in 2000, with £30 added monthly, would have grown to over £33,000 by 2025. The same contributions to a savings account? Just £12,260. That's nearly triple the return – simply by understanding and managing investment risk rather than avoiding it entirely.

    The truth is, inflation silently erodes cash savings over time. While investment risk feels immediate and controllable, the gradual loss of purchasing power often goes unnoticed until it's too late.

    Risk doesn't have to mean feeling out of control. With the right tools – like risk-profiling questionnaires and investment calculators – you can make informed decisions that balance potential rewards against your comfort level. When properly understood, risk becomes a tool for long-term financial growth.

    The question is which risks serve your future best.

    Important stuffHolly and the team have worked in the finance industry for many years but we are not regulated to give you personal financial advice. For every story on this website about a good investment, or something which went up by 10% or made someone £200, we could also share a story about a bad investment, something which fell in value or lost someone £200. We aim to provide general information and pointers – and btw we are totally agnostic about which providers you might pick – but if you have complex affairs, want personalised advice or need specific recommendations, please look at advice pages and see if regulated digital or traditional financial advice would be the best solution for your needs.

    InformationHistorically, money invested for more than five years grows more than cash savings. Remember that investments can also fall, so you might not get all of your money back. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may change.
