Remember
It can be uncomfortable when you first move your money from a bank account into an investment, where it has the potential to fluctuate in value. The important thing is to understand your investing goals and timeframes, then establish how much risk you are ready to take on. You don't have to do this on your own, there are advisers and tools to help you do this. Once you have reached this point you can create a long-term investment strategy. If it's your first time investing this might sound daunting but this can be more simple than it might sound and we're here to help you do it.
