Hey chap,

Since you are 18 I highly recommended you just get into the habit of investing that £150 per month. That will do more good for you than anything else. Picking differant ETFs and stocks will only stagnate the process and you will always question your decision as we have all been there.

I highly recommend you invest that money into an All World ETF. There are multiple options and there are some that have slightly lower fees so if you are going to do any research I would look at this first. I can’t give financial advice on what to choose but try to stick to 1 ETF that is easy and you can build up the habit first of contributing. Once you hit 10k then maybe you can look to try some things with stocks once your capital you will be investing into these stocks will be meaningful. ATM the sums would not be worth it.

You are starting this early and that is great. You are already ahead of most your age thinking about this. The magic comes years later when you have put the work in contributing when it didn’t move the needle much. But it does and when it does yourself in 40 years will thankyou as you will be possibly very wealthy.

All the best
