Investing in an index fund gives more spreading than investing in a single company. It is also good to spread your investments over time. This means, for example, investing a smaller amount every month instead of investing all your money at once.
"}},{"componentType":"paragraph","title":"2. Choose a lower-risk category when you invest yourself","richBody":{"value":"There are many investment types, each with their own risks. You can choose index trackers or investment funds instead of individual shares, because these can have a lower risk category. In the ING app we show the risk of a fund or index tracker.

Only invest money you do not need right away","richBody":{"value":"Because markets can rise and fall, it is important that you do not suddenly need the money when the market happens to be low. Only invest money you can miss for a longer period. This way you can sit tight when necessary.
