Alternative ways to invest in McBride

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including McBride), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

McBride is a major part of the London stock exchange, 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, McBride's shares have ranged in value from as little as 19 up to 77. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".

MCB.LSE volatility(beta: 1.21)Avg. volatility(beta: 1.00)LowHigh

Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (LSE average) beta is 1, while McBride's is 1.206.
