As you may know, I often talk about the fact that having a plan is the first and most important step that anyone can have when considering their financial future. I also firmly believe that investments must be in service to that plan and should only come into the equation once you have an idea as to where you are headed.
Once the destination has been identified, we then need to look at what we should invest in to give ourselves the best chance of success. With this in mind, I am delighted to be hosting a talk with Robin Powell, aka "The Evidence-Based Investor”. Robin is a straight-talking journalist and author specialising in finance and investing.
His book Invest Your Way To Financial Freedom, co-authored with Ben Carlson has just been published by Harriman House. Robin believes there are few bigger priorities for people today than investing for the future. He believes a combination of the rising cost of health and education, soaring house prices, longer life expectancy, and the increasing strain on welfare budgets means it’s vital that everyone does what they can to remain financially independent for the rest of their lives.
But, he says, many financial professionals, including advisers, fail to acknowledge what decades of peer-reviewed tell us about how to invest. He’s therefore on a mission to give investors the information they need to succeed.
This talk should give you the tools to allow you to succeed.
