Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including BT Group), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.
BT Group is a major part of the London stock exchange, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

There are many factors that affect the price of BT shares, including the company's financial performance and outlook and the state of the telecommunications industry. As part of the FTSE 100 Index, the BT share price may also rise and fall based on the wider performance of the UK stock market, regardless of how the company is performing. The BT share price reached its all-time high during the dotcom bubble in the early 2000s, but has never recovered to the same level. Despite a rally between 2009 and 2015, the price of BT shares has since declined.
According to investing publication The Motley Fool, the BT share price has continued to fall due to large amounts of debt and a downsizing of its operations abroad. While some investors may see the current BT share price as a good time to buy BT stocks, others may believe the company will drop further, especially given the economic climate caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
BT Group's fiscal year ends in March.
BT Group's address is: 1 Braham Street, London, United Kingdom, E1 8EE
BT Group's shares were split on a 12411:9622 basis on 8 November 2001. So if you had owned 9622 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 12411 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your BT Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 22.5% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for BT Group shares which in turn could have impacted BT Group's share price.
