Monthly investment
The sooner you start, the more you’ll benefit later.The most important thing is to start
The earlier you start, the more returns your investments can yield. You can get started with just 10 euros a month, but a larger sum will build up your wealth faster. If you have the opportunity to invest and are seeking returns on your money, why not start monthly investing in a fund?
By investing monthly regularly, you can ensure that your investments are diversified across time
When prices are down, you get more mutual fund units with your investment sum and less when prices are up. In this way, purchases are timed with low and high prices, allowing you to make purchases at the right price on average. The fund will also diversify small sums into various investments.
Monthly investing will allow you to make use of the compound interest effect
Did you know that you will get a return not only on your investment but on the return that has accrued? Let your investments work for you. Withdraw money only when you really need it. In this way, compound interest works effectively for you.
Tips for starting monthly investment
- Decide to start saving. By starting regular investing, you don’t have to worry whether now is the right time to invest in the market.
- Investing in a fund on a monthly basis is an excellent way to start investing. It only takes a moment to get started and is as easy as making an e-invoice.
- Remember to diversify. We recommend selecting a few mutual funds to invest in on a monthly basis. In some cases, one fund can be enough if it’s diversified geographically or by industry, for example.
- Select funds that suit your savings targets. We offer a range of more than 60 funds, including equity funds, index funds and responsible investment funds.
- Select a monthly investment amount that suits your pocket. The ideal investment amount can be 10 per cent of the net profit, but you can get started just by investing ten euros a month. You can adjust the monthly amount at any time or stop investing for a while.
- It’s also advisable to start investing for a child early on. The longer the investment horizon, the higher the risk you can take, and the better returns you can seek.
