How it works
Understanding shares and risk
The risk level of shares is highly subjective and will change according to different views, events and circumstances. However, overall shares have greater short-term price movements. It’s therefore important to stay focused on your long-term investment goals and to not act on short-term changes in the markets. Your share portfolio manager will take these risks and your risk appetite and financial needs into account.
Tax
If you invest through the Investment Plan or Glacier Vantage Life Plan, you will pay capital gains tax and income tax. We recommend that you speak to you financial planner for more details about the tax implications.
Fees
Fees vary between investments. Please speak to your financial planner to make sure you pay the correct fees and that you understand which fees you pay and why.
Why get financial advice
It is important to bear in mind that all investments have some risk and offer varying potential returns. We therefore recommend that you consult a financial planner who can help you find and combine the most appropriate products for your needs and circumstances.
