What questions are asked most often by share investors?
Rachel Winter, associate investment director at stockbroker Killik & Co, tells us and provides the answers.
1. How much money will I make?
If only it was possible to give an exact answer to this question.
The answer depends on three things: the level of risk you are taking, the performance of the overall market, and the performance of the investments in your portfolio.
The more risk you take, the more return you can expect to make over long time periods.
Many people consider cash to be the safest investment and shares to be one of the riskiest.
