We always recommend that investors seek financial advice before deciding to invest, to help ensure that a product is appropriate for them. We know that advisers work closely with investors, providing valuable support. It’s also really important that investors read key documents and make sure that they understand the risks before deciding to invest. Advisers can also help with this process.
