Providend Ltd

MAX KEELING, Head of Expat Advisory at Providend Ltd, says that you can begin investing with only a small amount of money, though he does suggest considering a few factors before you start.

When should I start investing?

“To invest or not” isn’t a binary decision. Just as there’s risk in investing, there’s risk in not investing. It’s more prudent to invest a portion of your cash holdings, one that allows you to sleep soundly while mitigating short-term market risks, into a portfolio that fits your need, ability and willingness to take risks.
