How to construct my investment portfolio?
I am starting my graduate job this week and plan on pound-cost averaging a regular amount of money every month into an investment portfolio (as well as maximising my LISA, but this is unrelated).

Atom Bank - well done
I had a 1 year savings account with Atom - matures '31 August 2020' ie today. I opted to withdraw the balance. Pondered the usual questions - does 31st mean midnight today ie the funds will arrive tomorrow? In any case, today is a bank holiday so no way they will arrive today. Very surprised when I checked my current…

Brewdog Shares
So never had it been cheaper of late to buy some shares. Resellers have these listed for £12 a share, brewdog last offered them for £25, and the last investor sale round sold them for £15. Given they are an unlisted company, it’s difficult to truly value the price of a share. You could take into consideration the online or…

Same for an Etrade account I have, I've converted into GBP and need to add these too. I need to enter them on my UKSA 19/20 but have some…

The trouble is that I think I probably bought them via an online platform, and I think that was E*Trade (who have withdrawn from the UK a long ime ago) but can't be sure. I certainly can't recall usernames, passwords or email addresses from that long…
