IWD Podcast – Taking control of your finances

Ravenscroft

A recent study by Fidelity Investments found that 40% of women think they should be doing more with their money, while this year’s Pensions Policy Institute report shows that women will need to work an extra 19 years to retire with the same pension pot as men.

On International Women’s Day, portfolio managers Sophie Yabsley and Holly Warburton discuss some of the barriers for women in investing and share some simple, practical steps for anyone looking to start investing.

Together they discuss the difference between saving and investing, risk versus volatility and how to take the first steps to making your money work for you.

Sophie also shares two things she wishes everyone knew about investing.
