Alternative ways to invest in Shift Technologies

• Invest in Shift Technologies 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.

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