About the AAA Investment Guide

The AAA Investment Guide is crammed with facts and information for investors and savers. Good knowledge is essential for successful and profitable management of your investments.

The Guide is in two parts: Part 1 is an informative guide to financial planning with emphasis on keeping your tax bill down and seeking the best investment advice. Part 2 has detailed information on 130 ways to invest and is listed in the frame on the left of this page.

The Financial Times wrote on 31 March: "From the standpoint of basic, clearly written information on a variety of investing topics, AAA Investment Guide is hard to beat."

Part 1

Part 1 explains your investment and savings strategy and how your tax rate determines the type of investment you need to consider. But tax is not everything. Almost as important is the length of time you wish to hold your investments. That depends on what you eventually want to do with the money you have invested. You need to makde some decisions yourself and you may need to seek investment advice.
