Welcome back to Getting Started, our new video series for first-time investors with Jonathan Hollow.
In the first video, Jonathan explained why, in order to fund the lives we want to lead, especially after we finish full-time work, the vast majority of us have no choice but to invest in stocks and shares.
In this, the second, video, he looks at the issue of investment risk and, in particular, how much risk investors need to take.
JONATHAN HOLLOW worked for the UK Government’s Money and Pensions Service and is a writer and commentator on consumer education and protection.
