Portfolio

A collection of shares and/or other financial assets.



Pound cost averaging

A method of investing where equal sums of money are invested in shares (or other financial assets) each month or year (or other time period). This method avoids the risk of investing larger, one-off, sums of money at times when share prices might be at a temporarily high level.
