Frequently Asked Questions
What if I add monthly contributions?
Adding regular contributions dramatically increases the total. £10,000 plus £200/month at 7% would grow to far more than the lump sum alone.
Is this guaranteed?
No. Investment returns fluctuate and you can get back less than you put in. 7% is a long-run average, not a promise.
Cash savings vs investing?
A savings account paying 4% would grow £10,000 to about £14,800 over 10 years — less than investing at 7%, but with no capital risk.
