BUILDING WEALTH FOR THE FUTURE

It can feel like a big step to start investing your money. And younger investors are often put off by the thought of having to invest a large lump sum.

One of the easiest ways to build your investment portfolio is to simply keep adding to it on a regular basis. With a regular investment plan you can start small and build your investment over time. And by putting money into an investment portfolio rather than a savings account you could earn a higher return.

For example, with an initial investment of $1,000, and by adding as little as just $100 a month, you can start a regular investment plan into a managed fund or superannuation. Assuming you earn an average of 7% each year on your investment, after 10 years your investment will have grown from $1,000 to $16,000.

• Consolidate your super online using the ATO's online SuperSeeker tool
• Shop around – find a super fund that has the features you want
• Remember to check that your employer can contribute to your chosen fund before you consolidate
