Fair Investment Company launches new investment magazine
21 September 2009 / by Rebecca Sargent
Fair Investment Company has launched the first edition of its FREE quarterly investment magazine, Investment Direct.
As the investment outlook remains mixed, Fair Investment Company has launched Investment Direct, its quarterly investment magazine aimed at empowering investors and helping them to make informed investment decisions.
With Investment Direct, investors can read up on expert investment analysis, compare investment solutions and receive great discounts and cashback on a range of investment products through Fair Investment Company.
Commenting on its launch, director at Fair Investment Company, James Caldwell said: “We know that investing can be confusing. There are a number of investment solutions to choose from, and it is important that investors are made aware of these so they can make informed investment choices and find the deals that best suit their specific needs.
“Investment Direct aims to help investors to do this by examining the current investment outlook and then looking at potential investment solutions to address certain circumstances.”
As interest rates remain at an all time low, the first edition of Investment Direct concentrates on investing for income, using a variety of asset strategies with income yields of up to 7%. The magazine features expert commentary from investment managers including Jupiter, Invesco Perpetual, Ecclesiastical and Skipton Building Society, in addition to in-depth guides to product types.
Mr Caldwell explains: “We have featured expert commentary to give investors a real idea of the pros and cons of each investment type, they can then use that information, coupled with our in-depth guides, to make their own minds up about the best investment option for their circumstances.”
And those investors who go on to invest through Fair Investment Company could find themselves receiving great discounts or cashback, depending on the investment type. (Conditions apply)
“At Fair Investment Company, we want to make sure that investors are not only making the best decisions for their circumstances, but that they are getting the best deals too,” Mr Caldwell said.
“As a result, we offer a considerable discount on many initial fund charges, and cashback of one per cent on investments over £10,000 into our range of structured products.”
Investment Direct will be mailed to all investors that have requested investment product information through Fair Investment Company.
And for those who are still unsure about their investment options, Fair Investment Company can put them in touch with an Independent Financial Adviser.
