Sarah looks at the pros and cons with her guests; Young Money champion Amelia Murray, Tom Woolf, founder of EdAid, Lucy Bott of Ratesetter and Tom Britton, co-founder of the Syndicate Room.

Growth investor try to find companies which they think will grow faster than the rest of the stock market, while value investors opt for solid companies which are expected to perform solidly rather than spectacularly over the longer-term.
