Baby Steps into Bundles

So, you might be new to investing like me, or not so new but don’t have a load of time on your hands…  Either way, there is a reason people put their trust in bundles for their investment strategy.

What is my investment strategy?

Money honey!  We all want it, and most of us need more of it.  So, the idea or strategy when investing, is long term wealth creation. 

Now some of this jargon sounds a bit confusing – long term wealth creation and strategy…  But it’s actually quite simple.  It’s just your long-term goal to make passive income by investing now.  Letting your money work for you later, so that you can take time off, and spend it and your extra cash, on things you want!

What are bundles?

Very simply put, a bundle is a group of shares, cherry-picked by a really clever guy or gal who knows what’s what in the markets, brands and listed companies.  The bundle is then managed by this clever guy or gal to make sure that the your risk is lessened which helps the bundle perform and give you the best return and growth.

This is different to buying shares on your own and seeing what they do (as a newbie myself, I have no idea), because the clever guy or gal knows the in’s and out’s and knows what the markets are doing.  In other words, they are the best babysitters for your investment, taking care of it and nurturing it when it needs by adjusting the bundle and shares and taking action when needed!

Because these babysitters are doing all the hard work for you, they charge a tiny fee, which is the lowest you’ll find in SA!  

Why buy bundles?

Because all the brainy work is done for you by your bundle babysitter.

You invest, and the babysitter nurtures and manages your bundle of shares so that you minimise risk and get the best possible returns based on your preference.

Our bundles are managed by the leaders in the market whose skills are mind-blowing, which makes sure that you are looked after by the "big guns".

You also get to choose what type of bundle you want!  You might be a conservative that likes to see incremental growth, or you might be a cowboy (or cowgirl) that likes to take risks for larger rewards! Yee-haa!

Either way we have you covered!

Who are our babysitters?
