Best way to invest £50 per month in Vanguard Lifestrategy fund

I'm new to investing and want to start off at a low level of £50 per month.
After a bit of research the Vanguard Lifestrategy funds seem attractive, but I'm struggling to understand the best value method of doing so at only £50 per month.
Any advice for an investor in training would be gratefully received!

Cavendish Online has a 0.2% platform fee, and through fidelity/fundsnetwork they allow for a monthly saving plan of a minimum of £50. Ideally get it in an ISA (cavendish online's a good call for the platform), or a SIPP (perhaps check out other platforms).
Should work out pretty well for you, and thumbs up for choosing the lifestrategy funds.0 -
Thanks, I would be looking at getting it as a s&s isa, setting it up and forget about it as part of a long term investment.
I appreciate you taking the time to reply.0 -
I've just started myself at £50 a month (applied 2 days ago).
Went for the 80% equity acc through Fidelity.0 -

Will set up for the 100% soon with CSD, starting from £50.
