    Can I invest with a one-off payment or is it always a regular sum?

    01 August 1970

    Question by Shirley

    I have little knowledge of finance and investments. I also have little funds. Just say I invest in one place for £10, is this £10 monthly or a one-off payment?

    Hi Shirley,

    It is completely up to you whether you choose to invest £10 as a one-off contribution or opt to invest £10 on a monthly basis. Most investment providers have the option to do one-off investments as well as regular contributions, however many of them have minimum contributions around the £25 to £50 range.

    If you do want to get started with a £10 investment, providers like Monzo or Wealthify could be a good option, as you can start investing from as little as £1! Check out our shortlist of the top providers for low starting sums for more suggestions.

    Good luck!

    Important stuffHolly and the team have worked in the finance industry for many years but we are not regulated to give you personal financial advice. For every story on this website about a good investment, or something which went up by 10% or made someone £200, we could also share a story about a bad investment, something which fell in value or lost someone £200. We aim to provide general information and pointers – and btw we are totally agnostic about which providers you might pick – but if you have complex affairs, want personalised advice or need specific recommendations, please look at advice pages and see if regulated digital or traditional financial advice would be the best solution for your needs.

    Risk warningAs is always the case with investing, your capital is at risk. The value of your portfolio can go down as well as up and you may get back less than you invest. Tax treatment depends on your individual circumstances and may change in the future.
