Answers to your common questions
Can’t find what you’re looking for? Reach out to our team using the form above we’re happy to help.
Is Immediate Growth a financial advisory service?
No. We are an educational platform only. We do not provide regulated financial advice, manage investments, or recommend specific products. Our goal is to help you understand how markets and financial concepts work so that you can make your own informed decisions, ideally in consultation with a qualified financial adviser.
Do I need any prior knowledge to use your resources?
Not at all. Our content is designed for complete beginners through to people with existing knowledge who want a refresher. Structured learning paths start from the absolute basics — what a stock is, what an index is — and build up from there at your own pace.
Is the consultation really free, and what happens during it?
Yes, our one-to-one consultations are completely free with no obligation. During the call, a specialist will discuss financial concepts relevant to your questions, explain terminology, and help you understand the bigger picture. We won’t try to sell you any product or service.
How is my personal information used?
Your information is used solely to respond to your enquiry and, if you opt in, to send our educational newsletter. We never sell or share your data with third parties. You can request deletion of your data at any time by contacting us directly.
Why does it matter that my savings lose value to inflation?
Inflation reduces the purchasing power of money over time — meaning the same amount buys less in the future than it does today. If the interest your savings earn is lower than the inflation rate, the real (inflation-adjusted) value of your money decreases each year, even though the number in your account stays the same or grows slightly.
Does investing guarantee better returns than a savings account?
No — and this is important. Investing carries risk, and markets can fall as well as rise. Historical data shows that, over long periods, diversified market investments have generally outperformed cash savings, but past performance does not guarantee future results. Understanding this risk is a core part of financial education.
How often is your market commentary updated?
Our market insights and commentary are published weekly, typically every Monday, covering the key economic events and market movements from the prior week, explained in plain English with practical context.
