Beat Your Bankers Confidently

Course Description

We are always being targeted by Financial Institutions to to further invest to make our money work harder. Driven by our fear of losing out, most of the time we plunge into an investment without thinking it through. Leaving our hard-earned savings to the markets, or worse based on just trust of our bankers.

Is there any way that we can be better informed when approaching our bankers? How can we take control of our investments in all aspects?
