About this listen
Massive shoutout to Ian who asked these brilliant questions.
From transferring defined benefit and defined contribution pensions, to comparing the index providers of FTSE and MSCI, from UK stocks and their fees, to investing into bonds, and a lot more. This episode has a little bit of everything. Timestamps for each question are below.
And if anyone is keen to get involved in a future 4-week investing crash course, give me a shout and I'll add you to the waitlist (IG - makingmoneysimple, email - makingmoneysimple1@gmail.com).
