The case for drip, drip, drip

Investors have good reason to be apprehensive now, with concerns over a trade war between China and the US, the repercussions of an air strike on Syria and the grumbles about valuations in equity markets. One way to ease these concerns, asmorningstar’s intelligentemmawall reminds us, is to drip feed an ISA or SIPP investment. This takes the fear out of investing because a computer is doing it for you, so you don’t have to remember or have the nerve to invest. Small amounts means that you automatically buy on the dips as and when they come and whatever causes them.
