Invest Without Being Ripped Off
If you have money invested with a bank or investment company, you’re probably being ripped off. Invest Without Being Ripped Off is designed to help ordinary people defend their hard-earned money against banks and investment companies that charge high fees for horrendous returns.
I’ll show you how I set up portfolios that follow the research results of the banks and investment houses but for FAR lower costs.
I’ve been on the inside for many years, so I know what I’m talking about. Not all investment companies are bad but, in my experience, most of them are.
Invest without being ripped off provides plain English, easy-to-follow examples of low-cost, risk-appropriate investments that largely take care of themselves.

My background in financial services
I’ve been involved in finance and investments for more than 25 years one way or another, including many years as the person writing performance reports, articles and whatnot for some massive banks and investment houses.
This is my way of sharing that insider knowledge so that you can defend yourself against some of the nonsense and, in my opinion, rip-offs that are prevalent in the smokey world of investments and finance. If you want to know a bit more about me (and why wouldn’t you? I’m lovely), see the About page.
Originally a book, the Invest Without Being Ripped Off website allows me to share the benefits of my experience to a wider audience.

The order in which I would use the resources on this website
If I were new to investing and wanted to avoid being ripped off, I would go through the website in the following order as part of my preparation and research for investing.
- Read the Before Investing section and take any action appropriate for you.
- Then go to Investments – setting them up where I go through the entire investment process step-by-step.
- You can see how the portfolios I’ve set up with my own money are doing by visiting the Performance and Costs page.
- Once you’ve done that, you can go to After investing, which covers the little bit of input that I put in after it’s all set up.
- Sign-up for the free, monthly email. See the box on the right of the screen (or below if you’re viewing this on a mobile phone).
- If you haven’t already, please consider buying the book as that’s what funds this website. There are no adverts or sponsorships. The book is an easy-to-follow but comprehensive step-by-step guide on how I, a seasoned financial insider, set up my low-cost, low-maintenance investments. It’s 100% independent and not influenced or paid for by ANY organisation.
