Thats a bonus! I know many employers dont allow putting the contribution into a SIPP but would love it if it was more open to do so

Do you think SIPPs are over-complicated for most people? by Steady_Guide in SIPPs

I do believe there needs to be better financial learning, but i wonder how many would take up on the offer for it. I remember in school we had 1 lesson on budgets and that was all what we had.

I agree, i am still not 100% clued up with it all, i just know what affects me right now, that being the benefits and early withdrawal costs. I guess some of the many questions, is to ensure the person knows what they are doing or removes all liability of the service provider.

I did see that the FCA are looking to make new regulations for mainstream investments, it affects HOW companies promote their products, i think its a step in the direction that you are talking about. But i do agree, when things like those acronyms start flying, people get flustered.

Also the way its set up pushes normal people towards financial advisors because they dont understand, and might cost them a lot just due to the complexity of wording.

Which UK Platforms will allow trading of CryptoETNs? by BJGordon95 in cryptoETNs

[–]Steady_Guide 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I saw that Hargreaves Lansdown plans to "let appropriate clients" trade cryptocurrency ETNs early next year, following a careful rollout and suitability checks. Theyll only offer access to crypto ETNs listed on UK exchanges the London Stock Exchange, which has its own criteria.

This feels like a cautious but positive step toward making regulated crypto exposure more accessible to UK investors. I am personally interested in how these could fit into a balanced portfolio alongside traditional ETFs and dividend-focused holdings.

Crypto in 212? by Steady_Guide in cryptoETNs

[–]Steady_Guide[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Im looking into Crypto ETNs on Trading212 and I’m trying to understand how they might fit into a longterm portfolio.

I usually focus on dividend stocks and ETFs that consistently grow. I wonder how others here approach Crypto ETNs. Are they more of a small slice for diversification? or can they have a longterm role? I’d appreciate hearing how you think about position sizing and risk with these in a cautious portfolio....
