Navigating Investment Amounts in Share Trading

When it comes to investing in shares, determining the right amount to invest can be crucial for a balanced and effective investment strategy. Here's some guidance on how much you might consider investing per share.

Spreading Out Investments

  • Diversify Over Time: It's often wise to spread your investments over time rather than investing all your money at once. This approach can help mitigate risks associated with market volatility.

  • Staggered Investing: You might choose to invest a portion of your funds now, then more in a few months, and so on, adjusting based on market conditions and your financial situation.

Considering Investment Fees

  • Rule of Thumb for Fees: A key consideration is the fees associated with your investment. Ideally, these should not exceed 1% of your total investment.

  • Starting Point: Given the varying fee structures across different trading platforms, a general recommendation is to start with an investment of around £250 per share or investment. This amount takes into consideration the balance between the investment value and potential fees.

Note: Always consider the fee structure of your chosen trading platform and how it impacts your investment.
