Hi everyone,
In this week’s Smart Investing, our Head of Product Management, Rachel White, has penned a thoughtful piece on the gender pay gap in light of Equal Pay Day. Rachel discusses the continued challenges women face when growing their wealth, but also how they are overcoming these barriers with investing.
Senior Personal Finance Writer Tony Kaye also takes a look at why high company distributions can be a great investment opportunity for investors looking to take advantage of compound growth.
Lastly, we include an introductory piece on portfolio rebalancing: what it is, why it’s needed and how it helps to mitigate risk.
Regards, | | 
Robin Bowerman
Head of Corporate Affairs
