First-time investment trust

About ten years ago NISA started, and an advertisement for starting NISA was displayed in the window of a certain megabank.

At that time I, who had been diligent in saving, was guided by that advertisement and took my first step into investing.

To me, who had lived a life devoid of investing, the only words I knew were stock, Nikkei Average, and Dow Average. I didn’t know about mutual funds, and had never heard of them. Moreover, even though I was saving, I didn’t know about interest rates.

The reason I started asset management with mutual funds was extremely simple

“Because it seems profitable.”

It seems that if you invest in mutual funds for a long time, you will make money. And with NISA, profits supposedly go entirely into your pocket tax-free!

That kind of thing.

Without even researching mutual funds or NISA, I proceeded to open an NISA account at the bank as the bank clerk said.
