Gen X: seven ways to grow your wealth as retirement looms

David Bell, 42, a British sales specialist at Microsoft, began his investment journey in 2013 after meeting a financial adviser in the UAE. He takes a slightly higher level of risk to ensure greater returns because he started late.

“In 2018, after five years of my investments underperforming, I had an epiphany and decided that I needed to educate myself and learn how to make my own investments,” Mr Bell tells The National.

He primarily invests in low-cost exchange-traded funds but has also delved into property and UK government bonds.
