Strategies and considerations

Things to consider when buying and selling investments

The following considerations need to be taken into account when buying and/or selling investments.  Customers of The Share Centre can talk to our Advice team for a second opinion, to discuss an investment strategy and to check on existing investment performance.  And because we don’t charge our customers extra – you can use the Advice team as much as you want.
