But here’s the truth: investing doesn’t have to be scary.

Whether you're investing for yourself or wanting to build a nest egg for your children or grandchildren, with a dedicated adviser by your side, you can begin your journey knowing you’re making the right choices for you.

How investing can benefit you

The power of compounding: “interest on interest”	The potential for higher returns	Potential to beat inflation
Compound interest is the interest you can earn on both the money you’ve invested and the interest that money has already earned. Over time, your investment has the potential to grow faster as interest builds on a larger amount.	Investing offers the potential for higher returns than a savings account, helping you reach your financial goals—whether it's retirement, buying a home, or funding your kids’ education—faster.	It’s increasingly hard to find a savings account that keeps up with inflation, meaning your money could lose value over time. Investing gives it the potential to grow, helping you stay ahead of rising costs.

However remember with investments, there are risks and the value of your investments and the income from them can fall as well as rise and are not guaranteed. You might not get back your initial investment.
