How to build an investment portfolio

On this episode we are going back to basics on investing. Lots of women say they don’t how to invest, there’s too much jargon or they are embarrassed to ask questions – but we’re aiming to solve that. In this episode Laura and Danni talk through some of the types of investments you can put in your portfolio: from stocks and shares to funds and bonds or cash. You may find you already have more in your portfolio than you thought.

They also talk to Caroline Shaw who is a professional investor, in charge of Fidelity’s Sustainable Multi-Asset Growth fund. They quiz her about how she puts together a professional portfolio and her own investing journey.
