Episode 2

Sam Sloma, chartered financial planner, joined us for our second episode and added a professional perspective on being a patient, long-term investor. We explored why investing in the stock markets over lengthy timeframes leads to wealth creation, how to overcome nerves when first investing and what to prepare and whether lump sum or drip-fed investments are best for returns. Hear what Sam had to say here.

In our final episode, we brought together all the investing concepts explored throughout the series during a conversation with beginner investor Samson Dada. We discuss his feelings about savings in an inflationary environment, why he wanted to learn more about the seemingly complex world of investing, his ambitious financial goals, and why he plans to take a long term approach.
