INVESTMENTS
Helping achieve your financial goals There are many different ways to access investment funds, for example, through products such as an Individual Savings Account (ISA) or your workplace pension. Think of the various types of investments as tools that can help you achieve your financial
goals. Each broad investment type, from bank products to stocks and bonds, has its own general set of features, risk factors and ways in which they can be used by investors. It’s important to remember that the price and value of investments and income derived from
them can go down as well as up, and you may not get back the amount originally invested. You should obtain professional financial advice before making any investment decisions.
