[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images 2025 has started well for the London stock market. We have seen the flagship FTSE 100 index of leading British shares hit an all-time high, for example. Despite that, I have been buying FTSE shares lately. Here are three reasons why. Don’t confuse the broad market with specific opportunities the market offers If you told me car prices or house prices had hit an all-time high, I would wonder whether that meant now might be a bad time to splash the cash.

[ad_1] Image source: The Motley Fool Sometimes, we can learn from great investors – but what works for them may not necessarily work for us. Take Warren Buffett for example. Some of the shares he owns I understand as businesses. But others I do not. So I would not invest in them even if they have performed brilliantly for the ‘Sage of Omaha’. That is because I like to stick to what Buffett calls my ‘circle of competence’. After all, putting money into businesses I do not understand is not investing at all, but simply speculation. Here’s a simple, proven…

BlackRock followed one month later by purchasing Aperio, the second-largest player in the space. This year, JPMorgan bought OpenInvest in June, Vanguard took over their partner JustInvest in July, and in September, Franklin Templeton acquired O’Shaughnessy Asset Management (OSAM) and its Canvas direct indexing platform. The giants of the asset management industry are clearly intrigued by direct indexing and it’s not hard to see why. The rise of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has steadily eroded the management…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images When it comes to earning passive income in the stock market, I think there’s one thing that gives some investors a big advantage over others. It’s having time on their side. Being able to be patient can increase returns dramatically. And shares in FTSE 250 bakery and food retailer Greggs (LSE:GRG) are a good illustration of this. Dividend growth Over the last 12 months, Greggs has distributed 59p in dividends per share.
