How I’d start investing in stocks and shares
Investing in stocks and shares should be a long-term activity, in my opinion. There can be a greater element of risk involved during shorter timeframes. I try to invest for several years at the very least.
This can mitigate fluctuations caused by some of the shorter-term economic, political, and psychological factors that affect stocks and shares.
If I was starting again, I would begin my investing journey with carefully selected funds and investment trusts. I would look for funds that are global, diversified, and with competent managers.
Should I buy Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust at the current price?

It’s been an eventful 2021 so far for
Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust (LSE: SMT). The fund manager of the multi-billion portfolio, James Anderson, has announced his retirement. This follows the sell-off of many tech and growth stocks earlier in the year, due to fears of higher inflation and interest rates.
I’ve mentioned before that I think the real gem is Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust’s unquoted portfolio. There’s a significant amount that is invested in private companies. In fact, as at the end of February, approximately 17% of the trust is held in unquoted holdings. Some of these have gone onto float on the stock markets through an initial public offering (IPO). And I don’t think this is by fluke.
RISK WARNINGS AND DISCLAIMERS
The value of stocks and shares and any dividend income, may fall as well as rise, and is not guaranteed so you may get back less than you invested. You should not invest any money you can’t afford to lose and should not rely on any dividend income to meet your living expenses. Stocks listed on overseas exchanges may be subject to additional dealing and exchange rate charges, administrative costs, withholding taxes, different accounting and reporting standards, may have other tax implications, and may not provide the same, or any, regulatory protection. Exchange rate charges may adversely affect the value of shares in sterling terms, and you could lose money in sterling even if the stock rises in the currency of origin. Any performance statistics that do not adjust for exchange rate changes are likely to result in inaccurate real returns for sterling-based UK investors.
Warren Buffett is an investment genius. But these UK fund managers have beaten him

Billionaire US investor Warren Buffett is famed both for his fortune and his folksy words of wisdom. Nobody disputes the abilities of the grand old man of investing, but that doesn’t make him invincible.
If he was, we should all buy shares in his Berkshire Hathaway investment vehicle, and let him get on with it. Yet we don’t. There will always be pretenders to Warren Buffett’s crown, and a surprising number reside on these shores.
