What are the common investing myths?
Only rich people invest
This is a myth as you can start an investment with £100 or pop in £20 each month.
In fact, starting small could let you get a feel for it, while keeping cash savings for life’s emergencies.
Investing is complicated
Investing for yourself can feel complicated. But it doesn’t have to be, which is why we've put together guides and videos to help you learn a little more.
Also, if you’re investing less than £20,000 our online advice service makes it simple by picking an investment which suits you.
Now isn’t the best time to start
Once you’ve decided to start investing, your next question is when to take the plunge?
With savings rates so low, now could be a good time to consider investing to grow your money over the medium to long term. Regular investing with smaller amounts may even be a good way of getting started.
