If you are one of the many Britons who started to invest over the course of the past year, you’re not alone if you are on the lookout for some more guidance.
After all, while investment services and stockbrokers are plentiful, good advice is slightly more difficult to come by.
If you are stretched for time and still keen to learn the tips and tricks for a successful, long-term investment strategy, podcasts can be a truly invaluable resource.
There is no shortage of absolutely cracking podcasts, while many feature insights from some of the most successful investors on the planet, they put in simple terms, how best to make your money work for you.
Here are four of our favourite investing podcasts.
1. The Intelligent Investing Podcast
Founded by the highly successful self-made investor Eric Schleien, the Intelligent Investing Podcast is ideal for those who want to understand how markets work and find the best tools and resources for long-term investing.
The variety of guests on this weekly podcast is rich, featuring CEOs, asset managers, self-made millionaires, and City bigwigs.
One recent guest was Viktor Nebehaj, founder of one of the UK’s leading investment platforms, Freetrade.
The episode covers how you can use platforms like Freetrade to pursue “conscious investing” thanks to investment accounts like the self-invested personal pension account (SIPP), which allows you to take control of your retirement and put your financial future in your own hands.
Or there is the stocks and shares ISA, which again enables you to invest for the future in a tax-efficient way. It’s important to remember that, like a bank or utility company, you don’t have to stick with one ISA provider, if you find a platform that suits you and your needs better, you can switch.
The podcast also discusses why you might consider switching your ISA to Freetrade. The II Podcast also looks at various other tools that you can use to empower your investment journey.
