First-time investor looking for some advice before getting started.
I’ve been doing a fair bit of research into different platforms and ETFs, and at the moment I’m leaning towards using Trading 212 rather than investing directly through Vanguard.
My plan is to invest for the long term, starting with a lump sum and then making regular monthly contributions. From what I’ve read so far, VWRP seems like it could suit that approach well because of its global diversification.
I’ve also looked at Vanguard’s LifeStrategy funds, particularly the 60% and 80% equity options, but I understand these have a greater weighting towards the UK. I’m wondering whether there is much reason to favour one of those over something like VWRP for a long-term investor.
For those with more experience, does this seem like a reasonable approach? Is there anything important I should be considering before deciding?
Thanks in advance!
