While having a financial goal in mind can help, it's okay if you don't.
Investing can be a great complement to your savings, especially when you know you won't need it for 5+ years. Putting money aside as part of a long-term strategy may just make sense for you, regardless of any specific goal.
Whatever the reason, it’s wise to consider the resources at your disposal. Utilising a tax-efficient wrapper like a Flexible Stocks & Shares ISA can be a great tax-free way to make the most out of your investments. Making use of currency wallets with your General Investment Account can be cost-effective when buying and selling shares priced in foreign currencies.
Even though you may not have a goal in mind, here are some investing considerations to help get you thinking.
Take stock of your current living expenses, standing charges, cash savings, etc. This will help determine how much you can reasonably afford to invest.
Most goals fall within these three basic objectives. Even without a goal (e.g. buying a house), you can still consider which objective appeals to you most.
How will you react if your portfolio decreases in value by 10% or even 20%, but you’re not thinking of using your investments for another 5-7 years? Your reaction will help you determine the types of stocks or funds that align with your comfort level.
