DIY investing is all the rage and certainly has a place in the market, but so does financial advice. As a new generation of investors power through the market and look to build on the knowledge and wealth gained in recent years, there’s an opportunity to pause and consider whether it wouldn’t be better to do this with a broader financial plan in place. After all, you might love decorating a home, but wouldn’t you still use an architect to design it properly?

Drawing on the benefits of DIY investing and financial planning leads to a best-of-both-worlds approach. You can have fun with investing and do so with the safety of guardrails provided by a proper financial plan. Kapil Joshi, Managing Director: Strategy and Proposition at Momentum Wealth, joined me on this podcast to talk about how these worlds should co-exist for investors who want to take a more active approach to their wealth creation.
