Just a quick midweek post on my top finance YouTubers. Now obviously what they provide is not financial advice as it isn't tailored to the individual but I do find that they offer insightful and valuable content from investing to pensions and savings to global economics.

Richard who fronts The Plain Bagel resides in Canada and apart from having a brilliant name he hosts educational videos looking at investments, personal finance and economics. He has some fun history videos regarding financial crises and is great at explaining issues in the USA such as the recent collapse of Silicon Valley Bank.

Pension Craft

PensionCraft
My name is Ramin Nakisa and I started PensionCraft in 2016 as I felt strongly that I wanted to teach people how to invest well for themselves so they could stop making costly mistakes and losing their money through having to pay unnecessarily high fees. Before starting PensionCraft, I worked in inv…

Patrick takes on a good range of subjects and makes them easy to understand from the state of current markets to FTX collapsing, crypto, fraud and currency. His videos have some fantastic dry humour whilst also being engaging and educational with a level of financial journalism that beats the mainstream. This channel is the one I subscribed to most recently, I had definitely been missing out!

James is a financial planner who I would say specialises in pensions and retirement but he also offers his thoughts on investing and wider economic issues. There have been a couple of occasions where for example I have thought about changing my portfolio only to watch one of James videos and realise I was making a mistake. The quality of his content deserves far more subs on YouTube so I would definitely recommend a follow!
