Alternative ways to invest in Dignity

• Invest in Dignity via a fund

  Buying shares in just one company can leave you more exposed to unexpected swings in the market than if you have a range of investments - a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend having a broad mix of assets and funds that hold a ready-made portfolio of at least 50 different companies' shares, on the basis that drops in the value of some will be offset by rises elsewhere.

  Dignity is a major part of the LSE index, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

  Share price volatility

  Over the last 12 months, Dignity's shares have ranged in value from as little as 320p up to 578p. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

  Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (LSE average) beta is 1, while Dignity's is 1.5222. This would suggest that Dignity's shares are more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent, relatively-speaking, a higher risk (but potentially also market-beating returns).
