The FTSE 100 has fallen below 6,000 for the first time since the start of 2013. What does this mean for you as an investor? Should you be worried? What can you do about it?

As an investor this means a potentially bumpy road ahead, but there’s no reason for it to also be stressful or financially damaging.

Get your tools ready and this could be a great opportunity for you.

Prepare yourself

However many companies you are invested in, at a time like this you need to keep an eye on the prices for all of them.
