Getting Started with Investing

Done right, investing is one of the smartest ways to grow your money over time. In this session, we walk you through the basics and show you how to invest with confidence, even if you’ve never done it before.

We cover:

  • How to get started (or what to expect if you’ve already begun)
  • How to pick a platform that works for you, or check you’re on the right one
  • The principles of good investing and what to avoid

*The value of investments can go down as well as up, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is not a reliable guide to future results. Tax treatment depends on your circumstances and may change. Nothing in this session should be taken as investment advice. If you’re unsure, speak to a regulated financial adviser.
