We discuss Freetrade’s history, its Good Money Guide Awards, as well as the evolution of the market for low-cost or free stockbrokers. Adam and I then delve into the concept of UK Treasury Bills, explaining that they are short-term IOUs from the government and offer a relatively risk-free rate of return.

We also discuss the mechanics of how to invest in UK Treasury Bills and the benefits of investing in them through Freetrade as opposed to directly with the DMO. We also cover the risks and protections for investors, as well as the availability of fractionalised shares in ISAs.

We finish up with some quickfire questions about how Adam invests his own money and some tips for investors around continually investing and avoid trying to time the market.
