What does Market Efficiency mean?

Market efficiency means that it’s very hard to identify, in advance, stocks and funds that will outperform. Investors should focus instead on simply capturing the return of the broad market.

Private equity may be riskier than you think

Private equity used to be an asset class for institutional and very wealthy private investors. Increasingly, though, ordinary investors are seeking exposure to it as well. But how much risk are they taking? Watch our video to find out more.

Be aware of fees and charges

Investors need to be conscious of the costs they’re paying for investing. These are costs are the one thing you ‘can’ really control as an investor. You can’t control the ups and downs of the markets, but you can control those incremental fees that you’re paying.

Look after your future self

The video focuses on the human tendency to prioritise immediate gratification over long-term rewards, a concept called temporal discounting. This bias often leads people to underinvest for the future, such as retirement savings

What investors can learn from history

The way that human beings generally learn to do things is through trial and error. In most cases, it’s a sensible and effective strategy. But, as behavioural finance expert Joe Wiggins explains, it’s not a good way to learn about investing.

Behavioural finance

Having a good adviser makes sense not only for financial reasons but psychological ones as well. Advisers can’t tell you which investments are going to perform best from one year to the next. But they can help to give you peace of mind.
