WEBVTT 1 00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:14.000 Whether you’re just starting out in investing  or are looking for a new platform to transfer   2 00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:17.840 your existing investments over to,  Smart Investor could be for you.  3 00:00:18.480 --> 00:00:23.120 It’s aimed at people who want to choose and  manage their own investments and we offer an ISA,   4 00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:26.720 Investment Account and a SIPP. We  don’t give personalised advice,   5 00:00:26.720 --> 00:00:31.280 but have lots of articles, videos and podcasts  to help with your investment decisions.  6 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:35.520 There are thousands of funds available on the  platform, but some people find the   7 00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:40.560 choice quite daunting. So to help narrow it down,  we have the Barclays Funds List which is a list   8 00:00:40.560 --> 00:00:46.480 of around 40 funds our experts have analysed and  believe offer good long-term investment prospects.  9 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.040 We also have a range of Ready-made  Investments which can be a great option,   10 00:00:51.040 --> 00:00:56.560 particularly if you’re not sure where to start or  are short on time. There are five funds to choose   11 00:00:56.560 --> 00:01:03.680 from and they each invest in a mix of shares, bonds and cash. When it comes to investing involves risk because stock markets   12 00:01:03.680 --> 00:01:07.680 can fall as well as rise, so there’s a  chance you could get less money back.   13 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.840 But there are ways to reduce that risk and  that's where the Ready-made Investments differ.   14 00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:17.680 You just need to read the characteristics of  each and choose the one that sounds most like you.  15 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:24.080 You can also buy and sell shares, investment  trusts, and exchange-traded funds on Smart   16 00:01:24.080 --> 00:01:27.840 Investor and we go the extra mile to try and  get you the best price.   17 00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:34.080 With the Barclays Price Improver, 92% of trades  placed in 2020 got a better price than   18 00:01:34.080 --> 00:01:39.280 that quoted price on the London Stock Exchange. If you’re a Barclays current account customer,   19 00:01:39.280 --> 00:01:42.640 another great thing about Smart Investor  is that you can see your investments,   20 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:48.000 alongside all of the other banking products you have  with us, via your online banking account   21 00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:53.840 or the Barclays app. You can also now  buy and sell investments on the app too.  22 00:01:53.840 --> 00:01:59.200 I hope that helps – but there's loads more information available on our website. For now, I wish you the very   23 00:01:59.200 --> 00:02:03.113 best with your investment journey,  whatever route you decide to take.
