Bank of England raises interest rates to 4%, the first increase in more than three years - follow live -

Governor Andrew Bailey says it shouldn't be seen as the first in an "inevitably long sequence of hikes" - but warns "neither does it seem likely to be the last", unless the Iran war is resolved.

We often think building wealth comes down to earning more, saving more, or finding the perfect investment.

But what if it's also about making better-informed decisions along the way?

According to FCA research, people who received regulated financial advice saw up to a 10% increase in wealth in the years following advice, compared with those who didn't receive it.

Yet despite this, regulated financial advice currently reaches only around 9% of UK adults, highlighting the scale of the UK's advice gap.

The value of investments and any income from them can fall as well as rise and you may not get back the original amount invested.
