Investing in Shares
Investing in shares takes time to master and requires patience and a lot of research. When investing in shares have a variety of investments.  It’s rarely a good idea to concentrate
on just one type of investment.

Cash is good for emergencies and for short-term plans, such as saving for a holiday or for the
deposit on a new home. It can also be a key investment for people who are not prepared to
take any risk with their money.

The stockmarket could account for the bulk of your investments if you are relatively young and want to maximise your money’s growth potential. But if you have less time until you need your money, you will probably want a smaller proportion of your portfolio invested in shares. Within your stockmarket investments you may want to combine UK holdings with funds that focus on other markets. Europe and the US are the most established economies, but Japan, Asia and other emerging markets also offer excellent growth potential.
