Getting started with fund saving

Fund saving is an easy way to start investing with small amounts. Saving regularly every month spreads your risk and evens out your purchase prices.

You will need

• Bank account and online banking
• An emergency fund already in place
• A long investment horizon (at least 5 years)

Steps

1. Make sure you have a buffer first

   Only invest once you have a buffer for unexpected expenses. Don't put money into a fund that you will need soon.

2. Understand the risk

3. Choose a fund type

4. Compare costs

5. Diversify

6. Start a monthly savings plan

7. Don't react to swings

8. Review once a year
