In part two of our investing special on A Little Bit Richer, Iona Bain is back with financial educator and founder of Vestpod, Emilie Bellet. Together they unpack the practical side of investing from building a balanced portfolio to understanding risk, diversification and the difference between passive and active investing.

They talk about a good mindset, why spreading your money across a range of investments matters, and Emilie shares a simple habit that can help you build wealth over time.

So if you’d like to be more active with investing, this episode will give you a roadmap.

If you missed part one, go back and listen to their chat on the foundations of investing – ‘Why playing it safe with money can be risky’.

Just a reminder that investments are for the longer term. Their value will go down as well as up and you may get back less than you put in.

Iona and her guests share their own personal thoughts and opinions in this podcast. These might be different from L&G’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.
