Around 42% of Brits invest – in fact, if you’re saving into a pension you’re already an investor. But the wider world of investments can seem murky, confusing and risky. It doesn’t have to be that way. So we’ve put together an investment episode.

Podcaster, author and founder of financial education company Mr MoneyJar, Timi Merriman-Johnson, joins our host Kia Commodore.

They discuss what investing is and isn’t, share details of products that might interest new investors and tell you how to get started. You’ll find out about key newbie choices and pitfalls, and why starting sooner rather than later can make a big difference to how much you end up with.

Kia and her guests share their own personal thoughts and opinions in this podcast. These might be different from Legal & General’s take on things. They give financial guidance for a UK audience that’s relevant at the time of recording. It’s general best practice, not the kind of personalised advice you’d get from a financial adviser.
