More resources for 'unlikely investors'
If you’re just joining us, we partnered with Pedestrian Group to bring the Sharesies purpose of creating financial empowerment to their community of millions.
In Part 1, we covered resources about how Sharesies started, trends to watch, and how to start your own investing journey.
In Part 2, we cover ethical investing, how to start chatting about money, and an overview of the share market.
