The year of the pandemic has also been the year of the young investor, with both established platforms and challenger apps seeing an upsurge in millennial customers. In her forthcoming book ‘Own It’, Iona Bain makes the case for why her generation can and must invest its way to a better future. She asks whether you can invest for your first home, advises how to ‘woke up’ your pension, examines the FIRE movement, and navigates the tricky waters of robo advice, free trading, and influencers pushing forex and Bitcoin. Come and find out what makes young investors tick today!
