Money Box Live: Invest or Save?
Felicity Hannah is joined by a panel of experts to answer your questions on the pros and cons of investing versus saving into cash.
If you’re fortunate enough to have set some money aside for a rainy day the Government wants you to invest more rather than keep it all in cash savings accounts.
The Treasury, has appointed the Investment Association, alongside 19 financial services firms, to lead an industry initiative to persuade people with savings to move at least some of that money into shares.
As a nation, we invest much less than in other similar countries, but why? What puts you off and what would you need to take the plunge?
Presenter Felicity Hannah is joined by Karen Northey, Director of Corporate Affairs at the Investment Association, and David Dodgson, an Independent Financial Advisor with The Private Office to answer listener questions.
