It can be easy to assume that investing is just for wealthy maths geniuses with expert knowledge of global markets. But that really isn’t the case.
“You don’t need to have lots of money to make a start,” says Claire Exley, head of financial advice and guidance, and J.P. Morgan-owned digital wealth manager, Nutmeg. You can start with £100 (sometimes less), don’t need a granular understanding of stocks and shares, and don’t need to spend lots of time on it either. Investing can even be enjoyable. “When you’ve got into the discipline of regular investing, seeing the rewards grow over time is fun, especially when you link that to a goal,” says Exley.
