You can start with as little as 1 000 Kč per month. Consistency is key. It is better to invest smaller amounts regularly than to wait for a large sum. Some brokerage platforms allow investments from 500 Kč.
In the Czech Republic, from 18 years of age. Persons under 18 may invest only through a legal representative, parents or guardians.
Every investment carries the risk of loss of capital. Long-term investing in diversified funds reduces this risk but does not eliminate it. Remember: past returns are not a guarantee of future returns.
It is recommended to hold 3-6 months of your monthly expenses. Without an emergency fund, you will be forced to sell investments at the worst possible times. Save first, then invest.
Fees vary depending on the broker and the investment product. As a guide: from 0.3% to 2% per year for managed portfolios, lower for passive funds (ETFs). Compare carefully: a 1% fee will significantly reduce returns over 20 years.
With stocks and funds, no: the worst outcome is losing everything. With derivatives (futures, options, margin trading), yes. You can lose more than your initial investment. Therefore, as a beginner, stick to simple products.
Choose the investment class that interests you: from the traditional security of gold to the dynamics of cryptographic assets.
