Why should I invest my savings?

If you have a long-term savings goal (many years away) then the value of your savings can decrease over time thanks to inflation. Investing can help mitigate that risk  by giving your money the chance to grow.

Why should I start an investment plan?

An investment plan can help you reach your long-term financial goals faster than simply putting your cash aside. In the future, investing could even provide a passive income.
