Course overview

Description

Buying and holding shares is often seen as a stepping stone towards more actively managed wealth-building techniques. It’s a sensible and straightforward way to grow your assets over time. However, making shorter-term strategic decisions can help you accelerate your wealth-building journey, protect the assets you already own and manage your tax liability.

In this course, we’ll explore some of the ways you can use different products to grow your wealth. You’ll also learn about the risks and benefits involved. Since this strategy – sometimes referred to as a multi-product or core-satellite strategy – is normally used by more experienced market participants, it’s important to have a firm grasp of the basics.

A strong foundation may help reduce the risks that could be introduced by using more than one financial product. If you haven’t already done so, you may want to visit our course on how trading works.
