    Are you asking what to invest in or where to invest. The former is crucial, the second is secondary.

    I would say a lot of the same questions apply as asked by the reply on your previous thread (and the links contain information that will help)

    Do you have a pension? Life ISA?
    Are you a home owner?
    Any dependants? Spouse? Kids?
    Debts? Commitments?
    Life plans eg future marriage? Resignation from job to take world tour? Etc

    As per questions above it really depends what you're after. Vanguard have good regular investment options for SIPP and ISAs.
    Remember the saying: if it looks too good to be true it almost certainly is.
  • I signed up for InvestEngine recently using the offer on MSE's weekly email, when I invested they added £30 to the first £100. If there are a group of you investing they also have referral offers if you refer friends and family (if of interest).

    Have also used Freetrade and Shares apps for shares, both seem easy to use and also have referral offers if you refer friends and family.

    Hope this helps!
