ShareSoc is a member of BETTER FINANCE and attends many of their meetings and conferences. ShareSoc also benefits from the policy papers that BETTER FINANCE produce, which we can share with UK Government and regulators so enhancing our credibility and reputation, which helps us to get listened to. Mark Northway is our BETTER FINANCE representative and is an observer on their Board. (Mark is also Chair of the World Federation of Investors, so can input two perspectives.)  

ShareSoc is working with BETTER FINANCE to maximise the impact of the ShareSoc Investing Basics Videos throughout Europe. BETTER FINANCE have now made the videos available through their YouTube channel see

We are working with BETTER FINANCE to identify ways for each of the 27 EU countries to use the videos. Those readers who have watched the videos will know they are in English, but they can be subtitled in other languages quite easily and this may be useful in some countries where many people don’t have a good understanding of English. In other countries we may need to dub them into another language. 

BETTER FINANCE has reviewed the videos and endorsed them:  

Aleksandra Mączyńska, Executive Director for BETTER FINANCE said :

“I congratulate ShareSoc for this excellent initiative! ShareSoc Investing Basics and its investor education videos provide badly needed tools and information for all those people who are looking to invest but don’t know where to start. Individual investors need access to independent and clear information to empower them and help them make informed decisions, especially since conditions over the last two years have led to the emergence of a new generation of retail investors with a do-it-yourself approach. ShareSoc Investing Basics helps them navigate the increasingly complex myriad investment products out there. After all, investing is not a full-time job.”
