Course overview

Are you interested in running your own SIPP and ISA’s? We will be looking at Global Macro and its effect on all asset classes. What is pertinent to medium/long-term investors now? How do we express these themes into a portfolio? We will be looking at individual shares, Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) and Investment Trusts.

A key aim is to understand the thought process of an investor and be able to apply it. Time will be spent showing where to source information to build up your financial knowledge. Please note, that this is not a course about short-term trading, and we won’t be discussing cryptocurrencies.
