Are you a private investor with an interesting story to tell?

We will pay £50 in vouchers as a thank you to anyone whose story is published in the digital magazine. You choose to spend them with a variety of shops and leisure companies including Marks & Spencer, John Lewis, Odeon, Primark, Wagamama and Pizza Express.
We are looking for individuals or couples to share their investing experiences. If you would like to take part, we want to know why you chose certain stocks, funds or bonds, why you might have subsequently sold some of them, and what you hope to achieve from investing.
You might have been investing for years with plenty of stories to tell about what went right or wrong with your investment decisions. Or you might be new to investing and are still finding your way around the investment universe. We’re interested in either of these situations.
Do you belong to an investment club and would you like to talk about these meetings? Are you retired and looking to make your money last for years to come? Are you in your 20s or 30s and have only made small steps into your investment journey? Perhaps you’re in your 40s and 50s and still accumulating wealth?
We have had great feedback from readers about the case studies published in Shares. They like to hear how the general public approach investing, so now is your chance.
Drop us a line with your name and two lines describing your investment experience. For those picked to feature in the magazine, we’ll be in touch to get the full story.
