It can be challenging to get started investing if are new to it or just want to learn more. Recent research shows that searches for ‘how-to-start-trading’ have increased 203 percent. This suggests that many people are interested in investing themselves rather than paying annual fees to fund managers.
There are a lot of expert investment podcasts that can help. Get Started Investing, for instance, breaks down the barriers of complex financial concepts using simple stories and jargon that is easy to understand. The podcast also explores a range of topics, from ETFs and dollar-cost-averaging to brokerage options.
The Investing for Beginners podcast follows a similar approach, helping listeners to understand the fundamentals of the stock market from a bird’s-eye view. The podcast uses simple, easy-to-understand language to explain trend-following, dividend growth investing, and value investing.
It’s different from some of the other podcasts on this list as it covers a wider array of investment topics including behavioural finance, macroeconomic trends and much more. It is able, however, to keep its main focus on the market, with each episode featuring experts in interviews and their trial and method of success.
The Talking Charts Podcast is a great way to get macroeconomic perspectives. The podcast focuses on the significance of the major financial headlines on the market every day. The hosts are currently creating their own portfolios, and share their wins and losses and also challenge each to each other on their market predictions (even betting dinner with listeners). The short episodes make it easy to fit into an already busy schedule.
