What should you know
Investing can feel overwhelming, but our friendly advisers are here to help. We’ll give you the guidance and support you need, no matter what your goals are. Whether you’re a seasoned investor or just starting out, we’ve got you covered.
People invest for various reasons, but a common goal is to make their money grow, both for today and tomorrow.
While bank accounts offer security, they often struggle to keep up with inflation and uncertain interest rates. Investing, on the other hand, provides the potential for growth, although it also comes with the risk of loss. A good investment adviser will guide you through the entire process
Investing is a personal decision. Before you start, consider your financial situation. If you’re in debt, not maximizing your retirement savings, or feel unsure about investing without professional advice, it might be best to wait.
It’s also wise to have an emergency fund before investing. This can help you avoid withdrawing money during market downturns, which can hinder your long-term growth. Remember, patience is key. Investing for at least five years gives your money the best chance to grow, as markets naturally fluctuate
Start investing
If you're ready to start investing, the first step is choosing the right account. Consider your financial goals and risk tolerance when selecting an account that best suits your needs.
Risk Tolerance:
Assess your comfort level with risk before investing. Higher-risk investments typically offer the potential for higher returns, but also come with greater volatility.
Diversification
While appearing more complex to setup, spreading your investments across different asset classes and sectors can help reduce risk.
Long term gains
Investing for the long term can help you ride out market fluctuations and benefit from the power of compounding.
