by Duncan Balmer

It is very obvious to most people that they need to save for their retirement - and that they need to be financially literate. This book is a clear, readable primer for savers and investors of all ages.

It presents the inexperienced investor of any age with factual and balanced commentary on all the main issues surrounding saving for retirement and investing in retirement.

It also examines the three most popular types of investment available - property, company shares, and fixed-interest securities - plus some 'alternative assets' such as traded options, forestry and collectibles. Also included is a set of golden investment rules.
