One of the hardest parts of investing is figuring out where to start. With so many different paths and options to consider, it's easy to understand why so many beginner investors simply give up. But do you know what? Many of the best traders and investors began the same way… that’s because everyone starts from a point of no knowledge.
One of the best things about trading in the stock market is that no one’s born an expert. You don’t need a fancy qualification or be employed by a Wall Street Bank. All you need is a bit of capital and the right people to learn from. The people who’ve been there themselves. The people who’ve experienced the same struggles and have come out the other side.

We offer a range of free videos and articles to help you develop a framework to build and manage your own share portfolio. You’ll also get trading insights on how to select stocks (and put the odds in your favour), when to buy stocks, and when to sell your share investments.
