Mies istuu nojatuolissa läppäri sylissään. Hän haaveilee mahdollisesti ulkomaan matkasta, koska sivupöydällä on matkaopas, drinkkejä, hedelmiä ja kukkia. Jalassa hänellä on hawaiji-shortsit. Koira makaa jaloissa lei kaulassaan.

Monthly investment

Monthly investment in a fund is a good choice for different stages of life.
1

The most important thing is to start

The earlier you start, the more time your investments have to make a return. You can get started with just 10 euros a month, but a larger sum will build your wealth faster. If you choose automatic monthly investment, the chosen sum will be transferred automatically into the fund – without your having to keep track of it.

2

Invest monthly to benefit from the compound interest effect

By investing monthly, you ensure that the sum you build up and the return on it accumulate interest. The longer you save, the more effectively your assets will grow. Do not redeem your investments until you really need to – this allows you to gain the greatest benefit.

3

Invest monthly to automatically diversify your investments

In a fund, even small sums are diversified across various investments. Monthly investment also balances market fluctuations: when prices are down, you get more fund units, and when they are up, you get fewer units. This ensures you pay the right price on average.

Investing in a fund is an easy way to build wealth

Monthly investment in a fund is a convenient and effective way to start investing. When you automate investing, it becomes effortless, and you do not need to compromise too much on other expenses. You will quickly notice that investing becomes an easy part of your day-to-day life. Whether aiming for a savings buffer, a dream holiday, or financial security – monthly investment will take you towards your goal.

What does monthly investment mean? 


Monthly investment means investing in a fund on a regular basis – it's the most popular way to start investing. You can start with a small sum, such as 10 euros a month. The average sum invested in OP's funds is 73 euros a month. 


When you start, just select the fund, the sum, the recurrence and due date – the investment will then be handled automatically every month from your account.

 

Why is a monthly investment a smart move?


Monthly investment is an easy way to accumulate wealth almost unnoticed. When you start monthly investment into a fund, the investments are handled automatically, and you don't have to worry about them separately. The unquestionable advantages of monthly investment include:

  • Time diversification: by investing regularly over the long term, you spread the risk over time. Purchases are spread over low and high prices, so that purchases do not only take place at high prices.
  • Compound interest effect: regular investments can accumulate income over time, after which, in addition to the capital, the income accumulates income.
  • Convenience: after starting monthly investment, investing is handled automatically – like a direct debit for bills.
  • Investing is possible even with small amounts: you can start monthly investment from 10 euros per month, so you can get started with a small investment.


How can I change my monthly investment?


To make changes, log into OP-mobile or the op.fi service.

Which fund is best for me?


When choosing a suitable fund, think of what kind of investor you are, and what your investment goal is. How long would you like to invest? What is your return target? What is your risk tolerance?
