Face Your Financial Fears: Investing for Beginners
The scariest thing about investing? Never getting started.
What if I lose money? What if I make the wrong choice? What if I don’t know enough? And… am I already too late?
If these questions sound familiar, you’re definitely not the only one.
Investing can feel intimidating when you don’t know where to begin. But here’s the thing: you don’t need to know everything to get started. The goal is to help you better understand investing so you can make your own decisions.
That’s why Female x Finance and DEGIRO are teaming up for a live online training designed for women who want to start investing, but still feel scared, overwhelmed or unsure about taking that first step.
Together, we’ll break down some of the biggest fears, myths and questions around investing — and turn them into practical knowledge you can actually use.
What you'll learn 💸
By the end of the session, you’ll understand:
Why keeping all your money in cash can mean losing purchasing power over time
The potential benefits and risks of investing, and what to consider before you start
Why you don’t need a huge amount of money to start investing
How ETFs and regular investing can take some of the pressure out of picking individual investments and trying to time the market
Which fees to look out for when investing
How to research your first ETF yourself
Plus, you’ll get a live demo of DEGIRO’s website and platform, so you can see what taking that first step can actually look like.
Who is this for?
This session is for women who aren’t investing yet, but want to start investing and feel more confident making financial decisions.
No investing experience required.
