Investing in pies

Hi there. Looking for a bit of help. I’ve been investing with T212 for a little over a year now. I want to move towards auto investing and not looking at the app every day to purchase stocks.

I’m small fry, and only want to invest around Ā£25/day on the investments in this pie. I can do that at the moment by manually buying each allocation in this pie, but I want to not look all the time as it can get exciting/depressing in equal measure.

T212 app is saying the minimum investment is £100. I can easily do this, but is it going to want £100 each time (£100/day) or can I lump in £400 in cash and let it run? If I put in £100 now its going to buy £3 of Google, as an example.

Am I better off manually doing this because the values I’m looking to invest?

Why £25 a day and not £125 a week or £500 a month?

Just drip in what you can, when you can and keep buying. Hopefully your stock choices beat the market!

Good question, and my only answer is ā€œbecause thats just how I startedā€.

I guess if I’m thinking long term (20-30 years) which I am, then investing weekly is sufficient.

I think the reason your pies minimum investment is relatively high at Ā£100 is because it contains a position with only a 1% allocation. The minimum investment per share is Ā£1. If you have say, 10 shares with a 10% allocation to each, then the minimum pie investment would be Ā£10. If you had a pie with two shares or ETF’s each with a 50% allocation then the minimum investment would be Ā£2.
