“Just take the action to start – you don’t have to put too much money in”
Katriina Ramamurthy, 32, started investing after speaking to her fiancée and his brother, who is a longstanding investor. She decided that she wanted better returns than those she was getting on cash, and better financial security when she’s older.
Her first investment was in a tracker fund that follows the performance of the US market, from low-cost provider iShares. She picked it because her fiancée was also invested in it, and explained how it worked. Since then, she’s invested in the UK version of the fund, as well as the Japan version, getting broad exposure to different markets across the globe.
However, at the start of the pandemic, Katriina decided to invest in company stocks for the first time, buying up some shares in airlines that had been hit hard by the global travel bans. She said she researched the ones that she thought would survive the pandemic and made her first move into directly holding shares.
Katriina has now built up £4,500 in her investment account and is planning to keep adding small amounts to it. “Everyone can do it, even with smaller amounts of money. It’s easy and you don’t have to understand much about investing. Just take the action to start – you don’t have to put too much money in, only what you are comfortable with,” she says.
Europe Might Be Your Next Power Move
Markets are noisy, headlines are dramatic, but wealth is often built in silence—by those who spot the shift before the crowd catches on.
If you've ever felt like you’re always one step behind the big players, this could be your chance to flip the script. European equities might not be sexy like crypto or hyped like AI stocks—but the smart money is moving quietly, and it’s moving there.
Remember, you don’t need to bet big. You just need to start paying attention.
Until next time,Keep learning, keep building, and don’t sleep on opportunity.
