This is a hands-on workshop in which you'll learn how to set up a trading account, pick a basic investment, and set some risk controls.

Your First Steps to Investing

If you ever wanted to invest in shares but didn’t know where to start, this jargon-free, hands-on workshop is for you. It will help you understand your options and give you the knowledge and tools to take your first steps into investing with greater confidence.

You'll learn how to:

Understand some of the simplest investment options for beginners

Create your own checklist for choosing an index fund or ETF

Set sensible guardrails to manage risk

Make investing part of your regular financial routine

Work out how much you might invest towards your goals

By the end of the workshop, you'll have a clearer understanding of your options, greater confidence in making your own decisions, and a practical framework for taking your first steps.

This is a hands-on session. Bring your questions, and we'll aim to answer most of them.

This session is educational and designed to build your own knowledge and confidence. It isn't personal financial advice, and nothing covered should be taken as a recommendation to buy any specific investment.
