All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you’re not sure which investments are right for you, please seek out a financial adviser. Capital at risk.

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 HomeServe), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

HomeServe 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).

HomeServe's shares were split on a 13:14 basis on 19 July 2015. So if you had owned 14 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 13 shares.
