How to Invest: what is investing?

How to Invest is a podcast series designed to help you get to grips with the basics of investing. We break down everything you need to know and how to get started. In this episode, interactive investor’s head of personal finance Moira O’Neill and news editor Sam Barker go back to the beginning and ask “what is investing?”. The pair explain how investing works and how it can help you achieve your life goals. This material is intended for educational purposes only and is not investment research or a personal recommendation to buy or sell any financial instrument or product, or to adopt any investment strategy. The value of your investments can rise as well as fall, and you could get back less than you invested. The investments referred to may not be suitable for all investors, and if in doubt, an investor should seek advice from a qualified investment adviser.
