How Much Money Do I Need to Start Investing?
A common concern for new investors is determining the amount of money needed to begin investing. Surprisingly, you might not need as much as you think. In fact, you could start with as little as $25 if you plan to make regular contributions.
The amount required to start investing really depends on the type of investment you choose. For those interested in making regular, small contributions, mutual funds are a great option. They allow you to begin investing with a low initial amount and gradually build your portfolio. However, it's important to carefully consider any associated fees, especially annual minimum balance fees.
If you're beginning with a lump sum, the minimum amount needed will depend on a few factors. You'll first need to decide whether to use a full-service broker or manage your investments independently.
Full-service brokers generally require an initial investment of $3,000 to $5,000, but some may work with you for as little as $1,000 if you shop around. On the other hand, online brokers, which offer discounted services while allowing you to make your own investment decisions, often let you start with as little as $500. Though this option makes entering the market easier, you'll need confidence in your own decision-making.
Regardless of whether you choose online brokers or full-service options, keep in mind that each trade incurs a fee. These fees can significantly impact your account if you're starting with a small investment, so be sure to factor them in when determining how much money you need to start investing.
