You may have already started investing or you may simply be thinking about it.  If you’re thinking about it, have sorted out your debts and have enough insurance then it may be time to start exploring what investment funds have to offer you.  You may be looking to save for your retirement, pay off your mortgage or help your children as they go through school and university.  You can choose to save on a regular basis or to invest a lump sum.

To start off you may find it useful to read some of our fact sheets.  Our Pocket Guide to Investing makes saving and investing easier to understand by comparing savings products to package holidays.  Introducing Investment is a guide to investing and explains what you should think about before you decide to invest.  We also have fact sheets on Ethical Investment, the Child Trust Fund, Investment Funds & Income Tax, Individual Savings Accounts and Monthly Savings.  And our Glossary will help you to understand the most commonly used investment terms.

We also have tools to help you Find a Fund Manager and Find a Fund to suit you, as well as links to help you Find a Financial Adviser. 

You can also click here for Daily Fund Pricing, an up to date listing of buy and sell prices of all investment funds.

We also have useful links to a range of websites covering everything from markets and how they are regulated to trade associations for the financial services industry.

We have joined up with some of the other financial trade associations to produce a pack of helpful information for MPs to use with constituents looking for guidance on financial services.  It covers 25 subjects from CTFs and ISAs to why it's important to save as well as mortgages, fraud and independent financial advice.
