💡 1. Start with a trusted adviser
Find a regulated financial adviser (check the UK’s FCA Register
) — never rely on cold calls or social media offers.
💷 2. Focus on security
Prioritise capital protection and steady income rather than risky growth. Safer options include government bonds, diversified funds, or income portfolios.
📊 3. Simplify investments
Avoid complex products. Choose clear, transparent accounts where fees and performance are easy to understand.
🏦 4. Plan for cash needs
Keep 6–12 months of living expenses in cash savings. Invest the rest gradually and only in regulated platforms.
💬 5. Support & confidence
Look for advisers or groups that specialise in women’s financial planning — some firms like Evelyn Partners, Quilter, or Brewin Dolphin offer tailored guidance.
