How can I start investing with just a small amount of money?
You don’t need thousands to start investing. In New Zealand, platforms like Sharesies make it simple to invest with as little as $5.
Sharesies lets you buy fractional shares starting from $5. There's no minimum deposit unless you’re using Auto-Invest (which requires a $5 minimum per auto transaction).
Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) and other index funds are great for beginners. They spread your money across many companies, reducing risk and simplifying diversification.
There's no pressure to invest regularly. Start with whatever you can afford, and build up over time. Even occasional investing can make a big difference long-term.
Micro-investing is a smart way to build wealth over time, even if you’re starting small. With the right tools and mindset, anyone can begin investing.
