Girls That Invest

A helpful guide to investing - ideal for beginners as it simplifies it in a way that is easy to understand.

This is a fantastic book for those who want to start their investing journey but, like me, haven't a clue where to start.There is a clear structure which explains different approaches to investing using simple and understandable analogies. The authors mission is to break down the overly complicated language used around investing and show that this really is something we can all do to improve our financial futures. Real life case studies show different apporaches people are taking all over the world and show that you don't need high salaries or generational wealth to get going!I keep returning to different sections again and again as I start to put what I've learnt into practice.Note that this book very much explains the different types of investments and does not advise where to invest your money or how to start. There are many other books out there which lead on perfectly after reading this.

I’m a wee bit late to the game by reading this in my 40’s (but maybe that’s because there were no books like this when I needed them in my 20’s??) and I so wish I had started my investing journey sooner!I agree with everything Simran says. I thought the stock market was a complicated exclusive city boys club where male rich brokers help the rich males get even richer by negotiating risky high stakes deals worth thousands that I had no business knowing about. How wrong I was! These men have been pulling the wool over our eyes to keep us out! Should have known it couldn’t be that complicated. I love the way she explains the stock market as ‘eBay for shares’ - simple as that. Epiphany moment or what?You can literally start with a £1/$1 on an online trading platform!So girls/ladies read this book immediately to arm yourself with the knowledge and go forth into the stock market breach my friends and begin your investing journey!

After reading this book, I’m annoyed as a 30 year old woman something like this wasn’t available to me years ago - a book that makes investing feel accessible. It is much simpler than I ever thought and this book really helps explain it clearly. I’m so glad I stumbled across the Girls That Invest podcast, Instagram account and I had been waiting ages for this book - it did not disappoint! Not only does it help demystify the world of investing, but takes you through what you need to consider before getting into investing for a good financial foundation e.g. checking your retirement account options. Something that I’m sure many people never do because we’re often not taught these things but could make a massive difference.The book offers actionable steps at every stage and example investor profiles. It tells you the difference between mutual funds, ETFs, bonds etc, what the stock market is with the book purposely avoiding as much jargon as possible. I even now understand what an NFT is. The steps to start investing are laid out so after you read this book you should feel you have a good idea of what to do or start researching further in your country eg which choosing where to invest.Loved the book and recommend to anyone wanting to learn investing.I have used it to start help teach my boyfriend more about it and he has found it helpful too! I know we will keep returning to it as a great resource for deciding goals and next investments while we continue to be ‘investors in training’.

A friend recommended this and I’ve only flicked through so far, but I already feel more motivated to take proper control of my finances. I’ve been wanting to get my head around passive income and investing for a while, and this feels like a really accessible place to start.What I love is the tone — it’s clear, straightforward and no-nonsense, but still friendly. It doesn’t talk down to you or use that weirdly patronising “girlboss” tone some finance books aimed at women lean into. This feels genuinely empowering, not cringe.Really looking forward to reading it properly and putting it into practice.

So informative. Finished it and finally understood investing. I think the information is broken down well and the tasks at the end of each chapter are great.I know it says not to beat ourselves up for not investing earlier but it's hard not since it's not as complicated as the world makes it out to be.I would highly recommend.

Great book. How it is written, anyone can understand. I took notes while reading this book and often refer back to them. I love how Simran is able to educate while also use examples relative to todays society to help us understand. After reading this book I did begin my investing journey. I follow ‘Girls that invest’ on instagram, casually listen to their podcast and read their weekly email subscription. All round great educational read and listen

In goede begrijpbare taal beschreven, wat het makkelijker maakt de beginselen van het beleggen te begrijpen.

Loved the examples, the actionable steps, the way it was written pretty much everything !

Amazing book. Will give you all the basics and help you feel more comfortable with investing

Empowering and easy to understand! A must-read for anyone wanting to take control of their finances. The tone is relatable, and the tips are actionable. Loved every page.

Perfect for beginners who are looking to understand investing. Would recommend this to anyone, not just girls/women! If you have felt intimidated looking at other investment books, this is definitely up your alley. Great way to introduce yourself into the world of investing.
