When looking for advice it’s important to be aware that there are a lot of scams and fraudsters who will target you and are using Covid-19 and the market instability as a reason. 

One tactic is to guarantee high investment returns. This is a hallmark of fraud. High returns generally involve high risk. If someone guarantees you astronomical returns with no risk, the person is lying. Remember that if an investment sounds too good to be true, it probably is!
