There’s an overwhelming amount of information available about investing, and so it’s difficult to find the right investment advice (what is the “right” advice after all?).

As a result, people shy away from the topic of investing all together, or make ill-advised financial decisions. Investing is vitally important when it comes to reaching one’s goals, as it can accelerate the growth of the hard-earned savings that we discussed
in Financial Planning Basics.

This module unpacks investing jargon to help individuals make responsible investing decisions.

Topics Covered
- Differences between various asset classes & portfolio types
- How to evaluate investment strategies and managers
- Relationship between risk and return
- Why it's important to be true to your personal risk preferences
