Now isn't the right time to invest
(and other myths holding you back)
Myth 1
Investing’s not a smart way to offset the impact of inflation
None of us know for sure what the future holds. What we do know is that markets react in response to a number of ever-changing events around the world. Also, that investing in shares and bonds has a strong and lengthy track record of delivering returns that offset the impact of inflation over the medium to long term.
Myth 2
Doing nothing is the best plan at the moment
Worried about investing due to what's going on in the economy right now? The good news is that you can invest with as little as £20 a month or a £100 lump sum. Most investments are usually a medium to long-term way to save and grow your money, so don’t worry if you can only invest smaller amounts.
Myth 3
Investing is complicated
Investing may seem complicated at first, but in reality, it can be more straightforward than you might think. If you’re investing under £20,000 you can get advice quickly and simply with our Digital Investment Adviser

Helpful videos to understand the basics of investing
As with all investments your capital is at risk and you may get back less than you invest. Investments should be held for the medium to long term (5+ years), unless there is a fixed term that applies.
