Do you feel the world of investing is shrouded in mystery, only accessible to the super-rich? In reality, this isn\u2019t the case at all. Let\u2019s separate myth from reality\u2026<\/strong> <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

Research1<\/sup> has highlighted why people are sometimes reluctant to invest, with the prime reason (cited by 45% of respondents) being they don\u2019t think they have enough money. Just under a quarter of respondents (23%) feel they are not knowledgeable enough about investing and 21% are worried about losing money. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

These findings mirror a number of common misconceptions surrounding investing, one of which is that only wealthy people invest. While this may have been the case in the past, it is certainly not true nowadays, with investment options available for people with smaller sums to invest. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n

You also don\u2019t have to be a stock market genius and monitor your investments on a daily basis. Advice is readily available to guide investors throughout their investment journey, while taking a long-term approach is always advisable. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

All investing does involve risk \u2013 that\u2019s true, but not all investments are similarly risky. Anyone who is concerned about losing money can adopt a more cautious approach by holding a higher proportion of less-risky assets in their portfolio. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
