    Use Investment Trusts. They are as simple as you can get

    I get it. Thank you.
    Glad you do. The investing world seems extremely intricate, and littered with many avoidable pitfalls that need to be navigated. Not surprising so many are reluctant to start the journey.
    Though, the sort of issues being discussed here only apply once you have put as much as you can into ISAs and pensions and won't affect the vast majority of people.
    Quite, but still a fact that one needs to be aware of.

    Just dividends and capital gains to consider. You get a reliable tax certificate annually for dividends and CG is usually as simple as sale proceeds minus costs. No ERI, equalisation payments or messing with retained dividends
