IG, has launched a new campaign urging the public and government to reconsider the country’s reliance on cash savings. The campaign, called “Save Our Stock Market” (SOS), features a short film with former Wimbledon champion Pat Cash.
Michael Healy, UK Managing Director at IG said: “We want the UK to become a nation of investors – building future wealth while backing British companies and boosting the stock market. But to do that, we must move beyond the country’s obsession with cash savings. While saving has its place, cash returns can’t compare to investing over the long term and we need more people to be aware of this. We couldn’t think of a better way to highlight our ‘terrible cash returns’ message than with the help of Pat Cash. “As part of our national campaign, Save Our Stock Market, we’re urgently calling on the Government to revive the UK stock market and get more people investing. A healthier stock market and investing culture stands to benefit all of us.”
Pat Cash adds: “I loved teaming up with IG on this campaign – and it’s a really important message. I’ve seen the power of long-term investing firsthand, but it’s not something people are taught, so I get why there can be a bit of a fear factor around it. We need more campaigns like this to build awareness and get more people engaged with investing.
“As for my returns in the film – let’s just say it wasn’t my best day. But like investing – sport is all about consistency over the long term!”
