In this episode, Matt and Emma share three funds and three shares that you may want to consider as part of a balanced portfolio.


And if you’re not ready to invest right now, either because of uncertainty in the current market conditions, or because you’re just not sure, well there’s still time to at least use those allowances by putting cash in, and making a decision later on what to invest in. But don’t wait too long because, as we always say, time in the market is always better than timing the market.
