Warren Buffet: "The best way to own...stock is through an #index fund that charges minimal fees. Those following this path are sure to beat the net results [after fees and expenses] delivered by the great majority of investment professionals."

Dogs don't care about interest rates. You should.
The UK Base Rate is now 4.25%.

There’s an expectation of another two 0.25% rate cuts in 2025.

Think about a switch to get the best deal on mortgages & savings.

Building blocks & investing are similar.

When the blocks are in a messy pile, it’s impossible to make sense of them.

Investments need to be grouped to match specific goal. Sort investments by asset class, region & sector. Remember each asset has a particular risk.

Trump has had a tantrum.
Investors have been impacted.
How can we build up any wealth?

Well, it’s difficult in the short term. Take a long-term view of investing. Select low-cost, diversified index funds.

Invest £5 a week for 20 years with an annual return of 7.5% and you could end up with £11,259.
That’s less than two flat whites a week.

Take some time to think about your financial goals, review your ISA and pensions, and build up your wealth.

Two words: compound returns.
The concept isn’t magic but it is pretty magical.

In the stock market, compound growth allows your initial investment to grow on both the original amount invested and any accumulated earnings (dividends).

Invested in the default fund in your workplace pension?
Is it delivering good outcomes for you?

Why not review your pension options?

Get to know what your fund invests in.
Understand performance & charges.
Switch if appropriate.

Take more control of your investments.

UK folk, thinking about starting or topping up an ISA?

Which will you choose, a Cash ISA or a Stocks & Shares ISA?

You can hold both, as long as your contributions to both types of ISA don’t exceed £20,000.

Invest according to your own attitude to risk.
