Investing in the UK
A comprehensive intermediate course covering every major asset class available to UK investors, equities, bonds, gilts, property, bullion, and alternatives, plus the tax wrappers, portfolio strategies, and common pitfalls you need to know.
Asset Classes Overview
A tour of every major asset class, equities, bonds, cash, property, alternatives, commodities, and crypto, with the risk-return spectrum and how correlation ties them together.
Stocks & Funds
Individual shares versus index funds versus ETFs, the active-versus-passive debate, and why the fees you pay matter far more than you think.
Bonds & Gilts
How bonds work, why UK gilts are important, the inverse relationship between bond prices and interest rates, and where NS&I savings fit in.
ISA vs SIPP vs GIA
A head-to-head comparison of the three main UK investment wrappers, ISA, SIPP, and GIA, including tax treatment, contribution limits, and the optimal order of use.
Property Investment
Buy-to-let fundamentals, SDLT surcharges, Section 24 mortgage interest restrictions, rental yield maths, and REITs as a hands-off alternative.
Bullion & Alternatives
Gold and silver as portfolio hedges, CGT-exempt UK legal tender coins, the chattels exemption for art and collectibles, and practical storage considerations.
Portfolio Construction
How to combine asset classes into a coherent portfolio, diversification, risk tolerance, age-based allocation, the core-satellite approach, rebalancing, and pound-cost averaging.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
The most costly investing mistakes UK investors make, from timing the market and home bias to letting fees erode returns and panicking during downturns.
