Published on: Jun 26, 2019 4:13:43 PM

At the start of your investment journey, you may find yourself overthinking about getting started. A lot of people believe that it takes a certain amount of money to begin investing in the markets, which has, until recently, been the traditional way of accessing the stock markets. Since EasyEquities came onto the scene and made investing cheap, you can now invest with as little as R100.

 

There are no definitive ways to invest R100. You may choose to put all of your R100 into one share, or you can invest R10 in 10 different shares or ETFs and diversify your portfolio. Like all investors you will find your own way and develop your own investment strategy that feeds your unique appetite.
