Law Debenture hosts inaugural Widening Investor Networks event
The event, the first of a series set up to deliver independent guidance and practical tips to retail investors, saw an expert panel offer insights into getting finances in order and the basics of investing.

Hosted by Denis Jackson, Chief Executive, each of our speakers took to the lectern to share their own experiences and tips, before coming together for a panel discussion with questions from the audience. |

Handford Aitkenhead & Walker’s Alasdair Walker, CFP™, talked through his ‘Hierarchy of Personal Finance’, which seeks to spell out investors’ different priorities and identification of goals at different life stages, as well as sharing his six basic tips for aspiring investors. |

Emma Wall, Hargreaves Landsdown’s Head of Investment Research & Analysis, set out to bust the myths of investment. Emma explained how the underrepresentation of some groups combined with socioeconomic and demographic factors are major determinants impacting investor confidence, highlighting that a major common reason for not investing, particularly among women, is the desire to not lose money. |

Laura Foll, CFA and Portfolio Manager from Janus Henderson Investors, who co-manages the UK equity income portfolio of Law Debenture, talked the room through important investment terminology and an introduction to share prices and valuations, while offering valuable perspectives on the need for patience and long-termism. |

Following an engaging Q&A session, which touched on topics from how young people can take their first steps onto the investment ladder, to the different methods of investing in individual stocks versus funds, Denis closed the panel by recognising that “it’s ok to be lost” when it comes to investing, but emphasising the wide range of resources and great people who can provide support and information.
