I'm new to stocks and investment. I currently have most of my savings (that are not in my normal bank account) in a 2 year 1.7% aer guaranteed growth bond which only pays out on maturity. I am only 8 months into this period and the rate of inflation in my country is over 5% above the rate of growth of my bond.
I am interested in safe, low effort medium to long-term investment that I can build over time. I like the look of Berkshire Hathaway and have downloaded DEGIRO with a view to investing.
TL;DR: should I take my money out of my bond before maturity and reinvest elsewhere? If so, is the above a sensible and safe option?
