How AJ Bell can help
NOON have partnered with AJ Bell Money Matters to offer this free webinar to ensure mid-life women feel supported, informed and empowered when it comes to getting the most out of their money, from investing to pensions to making the most of their finances.
If you aspire to be a regular investor but feel nervous about the risk of losing money, you’re not alone. Women tend to shy away from taking risks and in doing so have £50,000 less invested than their men, according to AJ Bell. That a whopping £1.26 trillion investment gap countrywide!
“All investing carries risk,” says Laura Suter, director of personal finance, AJ Bell. “Making a profit or generating income from your investments isn’t guaranteed so it’s important to be risk aware and make sure you’re comfortable with the risk levels and potential returns of your choices.”
Whether you’re just starting out or want to improve your approach, don’t miss this unique opportunity to learn from one of the top women in finances in the country!
