In SPI you’ll find your path to financial understanding laid clearly, and explained in plain simple English. As either an investing beginner or novice, someone just realising that "there must be another way", or a more mature investor seeking information or confirmation of ideas and principles, SPI will teach you how to invest. Describing all of the options that you may understand how best to invest for you, or that you can talk on even terms with your chosen advisor, SPI is indeed the UK's truly independent beginners guide to investing.

With SPI you can study all of the aspects of investing, and learn about them in your own time. All Lessons are supplied to you without charge, so that you may review them and only pay if you want to keep them within your course. Your only obligation is to return any Lesson not suitable, within the agreed timeframe.

Successful Personal Investing from Independent Research Services is the unique home-study course that has taught thousands of people (over 500,000 have read SPI) about investment and money management for over 20 years: learn to invest with basic principles to behind-the-scenes advice and sophisticated investing techniques for building wealth progressively, wisely. It is this investing know-how that allows you to make your money work 24 hours a day, while you are sleeping or even on holiday. Using the right techniques to invest, money multiplies even faster. But first, you have to make the decision to build wealth. Then take deliberate action, learn a few proven investing techniques and then apply them systematically over time. Now let me tell you why YOU should acquire this decisive know-how. Because your bank manager, or broker, or accountant rely on selling you their investing services. It is in their interest to sell you more and more of them. But nobody has as keen an interest in your financial investment success as you have. This is so very important. Your financial success is more important to yourself than to any other person in the world.

The aim of the Successful Personal Investing course is to get you to accumulate capital of one million, at least. But you can use it for your own investing goals, higher or lower. You’ll be surprised at how much hidden money you can uncover every year to invest. Money you probably didn't realise you had! Read our FREE "30 Ways to Find £2000" book for some ideas.

You’ll see how easy it is to learn how to invest; to evaluate personal pension plans, ISAs, shares, property, unit trusts, investment trusts, fixed interest investments. Simple strategies that can slash your tax bill, the "cash cow" areas of investing and money management.

You will learn in detail about a number of simple behind-the-scenes investing techniques that you don’t usually get to find out about. Many can boost your results 20, 30, or even 50% in just months. The Successful Personal Investing course is organised in such a way that you spend less than 15 minutes a day with it but your potential reward is access to a lifetime of financial successes.

I am not asking you to take me at my word. I will send you the first two lessons of the SPI programme. And you will see for yourself. And if you decide this is not made for you, there is no obligation. You do not risk anything. I claim to teach you the secrets that can pave the way to creating and managing a fortune worthy of the name. And I’ll prove this to you without asking for one penny.
