How to buy

Investing with advice
You can go to a professional financial adviser, who will give you advice on what to invest in. Together you can work through all the factors that affect your decision, including your needs and available funds, the performance figures for different companies, and the outlook for different sectors. Your adviser can then advise you on whether investment companies are a suitable investment for you and how to make your investment.

Investing without advice
If you are prepared to select your own investment company you can choose whether to go direct to a stockbroker or an execution only dealing service to buy shares for you. Or you can approach a fund management group to invest via a saving scheme or ISA.
