From Zero to Investor: The Journey Of A ...

Equity Mates Media
About this episode

Over three episodes, we track the journey of a millennial, who has never invested before, but knows it’s the right thing to do. We cover the basics, what he can invest in, answer all of his questions, and then watch as he finally pulls the trigger on something more meaningful than a 60-inch 4K computer monitor!

Hopefully by the end of these 3 episodes, you too will be inspired to take your first step into the markets, as we show you how easy it can be, particularly thanks to technology and apps such as CommSec Pocket.

In this episode we check-in on Rohan after he's made his first investment, to discuss the idea of dollar-cost-averaging, portfolio construction, and to answer all of his questions.

Start small with CommSec Pocket. Download CommSec Pocket in the App Store or Play Store and get started today.
