People invest for all sorts of reasons, but one of the main reasons they invest is to make any spare money they might have work harder for them.
Money sitting in a bank is secure, but uncertain interest rates and inflation mean that it might not amount to much over time. While money that’s invested has the chance to potentially grow (of course it could fall in value too, but that's the risk of investing).
We'd like to make your experience as easy as possible. Here are two simple steps that show you how to invest your money with us.
If you're ready to invest, the first thing you'll need to do is choose an account to hold your investments in. It’s important to pick one that’s right for you. So, you’ll need to think carefully about your personal situation and what you’re saving for.
Once you know what account you need, it's time to think about what you want to invest in. We have over 6,000 investments to choose from, including funds, shares, investment trusts and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
You can select your investments yourself. Or, if this feels a bit daunting to begin with, these three options can help you open an account and start investing.
One fund holding shares from some of the world’s biggest companies. Available only for an ISA.
One investment comprising a selection of our favourite funds, investment trusts and exchange-traded funds - predominantly from our Select 50 list.
We’ll give you a few fund options, based on what’s important to you. Available for all accounts.
