Periodic investing in ETFs

We have selected 20 ETFs in which you can invest periodically. You can also invest a one-off amount in these ETFs. The 20 periodic ETFs are:

To buy periodic ETFs, you’ll need a Self-Directed Investing Basic or a Self-Directed Investing Plus account. Once you’ve logged on, you can select Periodic ETFs from the Self-Directed Investing range in the Fund selector, and submit your order. You’ll then be asked to choose whether you want to invest a lump sum or invest periodically in the periodic ETF you’ve chosen.

The range of ETFs includes 20 periodic ETFs. The periodic ETFs are different because you don't have to buy a specific number of whole ETFs, but can invest a sum of your choice instead. This sum might buy you 0.7 or 1.5 periodic ETFs, for example. This makes it possible to invest periodically in these ETFs, by investing a fixed amount per month for example. Another difference between periodic and standard ETFs is that periodic ETFs are bought at a set time every day (8.30 a.m.) This is called the cut-off time. If you’d rather buy whole ETFs that are being traded on the stock market throughout the day, you should choose standard ETFs from the basic range.
