never had it better. Not only can you now buy shares at the click of a button, but there are many online brokers that now allow you to do this on a commission-free basis./p>p>In even better news, UK investors can now benefit from fractional ownership. This means that you can buy just a few pounds worth of shares – rather than having to meet a huge minimum requirement./p>p>On this page, we are going to guide you through the super-easy process of buying shares in the UK. We’ll discuss which stock brokers should be considered, what you need to know before getting started, and how to pick shares on a do-it-yourself basis. All in all – this strong>Buy Shares UK Guide/strong> has you covered./p>h2>How to Buy Shares in 5 Quick Steps/h2>ol>li>Register an account with a commission-free broker that is regulated by the FCA. We’d suggest eToro./li>li>Quickly upload a copy of your passport or driver’s license/li>li>Instantly deposit some funds with a UK debit/credit card or e-wallet/li>li>Search for the shares you want to buy/li>li>Enter the amount you want to invest and confirm the order/li>/ol>p>And that’s it – the above five steps can be completed in less than 10 minutes!/p>h2>strong>How to Buy Shares for Beginners – Tutorial/strong>/h2>p>The process of buying shares in the UK could not be easier. As noted above, it’s simply a case of opening a stock broker account, depositing some funds, and choosing how much you wish to invest in your chosen share./p>p>With that said, this can be an intimidating process of you’ve never invested online before – so we are now going to show you what needs to be done step-by-step./p>p>em>Note: The guidelines below are based on top-rated UK broker eToro. This platform allows you to buy shares without paying any commission and there are no ongoing fees. /em>/p>h3>strong>Step 1: Open an Online Trading Account/strong>/h3>p>To get the ball rolling, you will need to open an account with an online stock broker. You can do this by visiting the eToro website and clicking on the ‘Join Now’ button./p>p>img fetchpriorityhigh decodingasync classaligncenter wp-image-73 srchttps://buyshares.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Screen-Shot-2019-02-27-at-2.33.59-PM.png alteToro sign up width759 height601 />/p>p>As eToro is licensed by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), it is required to collect some personal information from you. This will include:/p>ul>li>Full Name/li>li>Home Address/li>li>Date of Birth/li>li>National Insurance Number/li>li>Email Address/li>li>Mobile Number/li>/ul>p>You will also need to choose a username and password – which is to be used each time you wish to log in to your account. eToro will also send a unique code to your mobile phone. Enter the code into the eToro website to confirm your phone number./p>h3>strong>Step 2:Verify Your Identity/strong>/h3>p>As per UK anti-money laundering laws, eToro is required to verify your identity. The process takes just a couple of minutes and simply requires you to upload a copy of:/p>ul>li>Valid passport or driver’s license/li>li>Utility bill or bank account statement (issued within the past three months)/li>/ul>p>eToro is usually able to verify your documents in just a few minutes via automated technologies./p>p>em>Note: eToro allows you to skip the identity verification process on the proviso that you do not deposit more than $2,250. However, you will need to upload the aforementioned document before a withdrawal is permitted.  /em>/p>h3>strong>Step 3: Make a Deposit/strong>/h3>p>You will now be asked to make a deposit. The minimum at eToro is just $200 – which amounts to about £160. There is also a very small 0.5% currency conversion fee. This then gives you access to 17 UK and international marketplaces without you needing to worry about fluctuating FX rates./p>p>Nevertheless, eToro supports the following payment methods:/p>ul>li>Debit Card/li>li>Credit Card/li>li>Bank Transfer/li>li>Paypal/li>li>Skrill/li>li>Neteller/li>/ul>p>We would suggest opting for a debit/credit card or e-wallet, as the payment will be added to your eToro account instantly. Bank transfers, on the other, can take several days./p>h3>strong>Step 4: Search for a Share/strong>/h3>p>As soon as you have made a deposit you can proceed to purchase a share. The easiest way to do this is to enter the name of the company that you want to invest in the search box. When your chosen share pops up, click it. In our example, we are searching for ‘Natwest’./p>p>a hrefhttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-13.55.07.png relattachment wp-att-88>img decodingasync classaligncenter wp-image-88  srchttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-13.55.07.png alt width810 height534 srcsethttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-13.55.07.png 914w, https://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-13.55.07-300x198.png 300w, https://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-13.55.07-768x506.png 768w sizes(max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px />/a>/p>p> /p>p>Upon click on the ‘Trade’ button, you will be presented with an ‘order box’. Don’t worry – this part of the process is very straight forward./p>h3>strong>Step 5: Buy Shares/strong>/h3>p>All you need to do is enter the amount that you wish to invest. This needs to be at a minimum of $50. The good news is that you don’t need to buy a full share./p>p>a hrefhttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-13.55.26.png relattachment wp-att-87>img decodingasync classaligncenter wp-image-87 size-full srchttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-13.55.26.png altScreenshot 2020-09-30 at 13.55.26 width567 height343 srcsethttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-13.55.26.png 567w, https://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-13.55.26-300x181.png 300w sizes(max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px />/a>/p>p>In other words, even if a company has a stock price of $500, you can invest just $50. In doing so, you would 10% of the respective share. Finally, confirm the order by clicking on the ‘Open Trade’ button./p>h2>strong>What you Need to Know Before Buying Shares/strong>/h2>p>Although buying shares online in the UK is super-easy, it’s still a good idea to have a firm understanding of how the markets work. This is because you will be investing your hard-earned money – so you should avoid going into this blindly./p>p>With this in mind, below we discuss some of the things that you need to know before buying shares./p>h3>strong>What are Shares?/strong>/h3>p>When a company goes ‘public’, it will go through the process of being listed on a stock exchange. Think along the lines of the London Stock Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange. In doing so, this will allow investors to purchase ‘shares’ in the company. By purchasing a share yourself, you effectively own a slice of the respective firm./p>p>For example:/p>ul>li>Let’s suppose that Company ABC joins the London Stock Exchange/li>li>The firm is valued at £200 million/li>li>In turn, Company ABC issues 400 million shares/li>li>This values each share at £0.50/li>/ul>p>We’ll then say that you decide to purchase £1,000 worth of shares in Company ABC. As such, you now own 2,000 individual shares. In effect, this means that you own a very small part of the company – somewhere around 0.0005%!/p>p>a hrefhttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.30.29.png relattachment wp-att-100>img loadinglazy decodingasync classwp-image-100 aligncenter srchttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.30.29.png altScreenshot 2020-09-30 at 17.30.29 width814 height379 srcsethttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.30.29.png 1073w, https://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.30.29-300x140.png 300w, https://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.30.29-768x357.png 768w, https://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.30.29-1024x476.png 1024w sizesauto, (max-width: 814px) 100vw, 814px />/a>/p>p>Irrespective of how many shares you own in a company, this will entitle you to ‘dividends’. Although we cover this in more detail later on – dividends are payments made from the company to shareholders – i.e. em>you/em>. Your payment will be directly correlated to the number of shares you hold./p>h3>strong>How Share Prices Fluctuate/strong>/h3>p>As soon as a company is listed on a stock exchange, its shares will go up or down in value. In the UK, shares are denominated in pence, while in the US its dollars. Either way, the movement of a share price is dictated by ‘market forces’./p>ul>li>In simple terms, this means that the shares will increase in value if there as demand goes up. This is the case when there are more people looking to buy shares than sell./li>li>At the other end of the spectrum, the shares will decrease in value if demand goes down and thus – there are more sellers than buyers./li>/ul>p>However, there are many factors that go on behind the scenes that can and will influence the demand of shares. For example, if the company in question has a financial quarter that outperforms market expectations – its shares will likely increase in value (as more people will want to buy)./p>p>If, however, there is negative news on the company – such as planned redundancies or a corruption scandal – the shares will likely go down./p>h3>strong>Buying Shares/strong>/h3>p>If you are a UK retail client – meaning that you are not investing from a professional or intuitional background, then you will only be able to buy shares via a third-party stock broker. Things have changed a lot in this respect, as you would have needed to make a purchase over the telephone in a time not so long ago./p>p>a hrefhttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.30.42.png relattachment wp-att-99>img loadinglazy decodingasync classwp-image-99 size-full alignnone srchttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.30.42.png altScreenshot 2020-09-30 at 17.30.42 width1075 height551 srcsethttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.30.42.png 1075w, https://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.30.42-300x154.png 300w, https://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.30.42-768x394.png 768w, https://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.30.42-1024x525.png 1024w sizesauto, (max-width: 1075px) 100vw, 1075px />/a>/p>p>However, the rapid growth of digitalisation in the financial markets means that you can now buy shares at the click of a button. You can do this online or even through your mobile phone. With that said, there are now thousands of UK stock brokers that allow you to buy shares quickly and conveniently./p>ul>li>The broker itself sits between the respective stock exchange and buyers/sellers./li>li>This means that in order to buy your chosen share, there also has to be a seller./li>li>Similarly, if you want to sell your shares, somebody needs to be prepared to purchase them from you./li>/ul>p>This isn’t anything to worry about though – as the stock markets are home to billions of pounds worth of trading volume each and every day. This means that you will be able to purchase your chosen shares as and when you like – as long as its during standard market hours. In the UK, this is any time between 8 am and 4.30 pm, Monday to Friday./p>h3>strong>Market Orders/strong>/h3>p>When it comes to placing an order, this is essentially an instruction to your broker. That is to say, you need to let the broker know:/p>ul>li>What shares you wish to buy/li>li>How much you want to invest/li>li>What price you wish to enter the market at/li>/ul>p>All of the above information will be found on the order form – which you can full out electronically in a matter of seconds. Leading UK brokers also give you additional options to consider. For example, by placing a ‘take-profit’ order, you will be instructing your broker to sell your shares automatically when your investment increases by a certain amount./p>h3>strong>Selling Shares/strong>/h3>p>You can sell your shares at any given time during standard market hours. . In order to do this, you simply need to head over to your chosen stock broker website, and click on the shares that you want to sell./p>p>You can sell some, or all, of your shares. Once you do, the proceeds will be placed into your stock broker account. Then, you can either reinvest them into other shares or simply withdraw the cash back to your bank account./p>h2>strong>How to Make Money From Shares/strong>/h2>p>The overarching objective of buying shares is, of course, to make money. There is no guarantee that this will be the case though, so always have a firm understanding of the risks. In particular, you should consider holding on to your shares for at least five years, as this will allow you to ride out short-term volatility./p>p>a hrefhttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.31.00.png relattachment wp-att-98>img loadinglazy decodingasync classaligncenter wp-image-98 size-full srchttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.31.00.png altScreenshot 2020-09-30 at 17.31.00 width1093 height536 srcsethttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.31.00.png 1093w, https://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.31.00-300x147.png 300w, https://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.31.00-768x377.png 768w, https://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.31.00-1024x502.png 1024w sizesauto, (max-width: 1093px) 100vw, 1093px />/a>/p>p>Nevertheless, there are two ways that you can make money by investing in shares – capital gains and dividends./p>h3>strong>Capital Gains/strong>/h3>p>In its most basic form, when you sell your shares for more than you initially paid – the profit is known as capital gains. This will happen if the shares increase in value, and then you sell them./p>p>For example:/p>ul>li>Let’s suppose that you buy £5,000 worth of BT shares/li>li>When you make the purchase, BT has a share price of £1/li>li>This means that you own 5,000 shares/li>li>Five years later, BT shares are priced at £3/li>li>This means that each share is worth £2 more than you originally paid/li>/ul>p>In selling the shares, you will receive a total of £15,000 (5,000 shares x £3). As you originally invested £5,000, this leaves you with £10,000 in capital gains./p>p>In the UK, capital gains are liable for tax. The specific amount that you need to pay will vary and is dependent on several factors. For example, if you placed your shares in a UK Individual Savings Accounts (ISA), the first £20,000 will be shielded from HMRC./p>p>You can read more about a hrefhttps://www.gov.uk/capital-gains-tax/rates#:~:textDeduct%20your%20tax%2Dfree%20allowance,above%20the%20basic%20tax%20rate.>UK capital gains tax/a> here./p>h3>strong>Dividends/strong>/h3>p>In addition to capital gains, you can also make money through dividend payments. As we briefly touched upon earlier, dividends allow companies to share some of their profits with stockholders. Not all companies pay dividends, as some prefer to focus on long-term growth./p>p>This is especially the case when investing in newly launched firms that are still up and coming. Nevertheless, if your chosen stock does pay dividends, this is usually distributed every three months. The funds will be sent to the broker that you purchased the shares from, and immediately available for withdrawal./p>p>The size of the dividend that you receive will be dependent on:/p>ul>li>The dividend per share – which is in pounds and pence/li>li>The number of shares you hold/li>/ul>p>For example, if the company pays a dividend of £0.50 per share and you hold 500 shares, then you will receive £150. The easiest way to assess the strength of a dividend payment is to look at the ‘yield’./p>p>a hrefhttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.41.05.png relattachment wp-att-102>img loadinglazy decodingasync classalignnone size-full wp-image-102 srchttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.41.05.png altScreenshot 2020-09-30 at 17.41.05 width1103 height491 srcsethttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.41.05.png 1103w, https://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.41.05-300x134.png 300w, https://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.41.05-768x342.png 768w, https://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.41.05-1024x456.png 1024w sizesauto, (max-width: 1103px) 100vw, 1103px />/a>/p>p>This is expressed in percentage terms, by taking the size of the annual dividend and dividing it into the company’s current stock price./p>p>For example:/p>ul>li>Let’s say that Company ABC paid out £0.15 per share in dividends this year/li>li>It has a current share price of £3/li>li>This means that the yield on the dividend is 5%/li>li>If you have £10,000 worth of shares, then you know that you made £500 in dividends/li>/ul>p>em>Top Tip: If you’re looking to focus on shares that have a long-standing track record of paying dividends, you might want to consider an ETF (Exchange-Traded Fund).

With this in mind, we would strongly suggest that you consider an ETF, mutual fund, or index fund./p>p>Put simply, you will be investing money with a large-scale provider like Vanguard or iShares – who will then buy and sell stocks on your behalf. This means that you can sit back and let your money work for you in a 100% passive manner./p>p>On the other hand, if you have your heart set on picking and choosing shares yourself – we would suggest reviewing the following tips:/p>h3>strong>Tip 1: Learn Key Stock Ratios/strong>/h3>p>Stock market ratios allow us to assess the strengths and weaknesses of a company. These ratios can tell us a lot about a stock – such as whether its potentially over/undervalued. Ratios can also let us know whether the company has too much (or even too little) debt, and how the stock is performing against its industry counterparts./p>p>Some of the most important stock market ratios to learn are:/p>ul>li>strong>P/E Ratio:/strong> The price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) is used to assess whether a stock is potentially undervalued or overvalued. All you need to do is divide the ‘current stock price’ into the firms ‘earnings per share’. This will then leave you with a ratio. You then need to look at how this ratio compares to A the wider stock market average and B the sector average/li>li>strong>Trialling Dividend Yield: /strong>This is one of the most underrated stock market ratios in the space. Put simply, this looks at the firm’s dividend payments over the past 12 months, in relation to its stock price. The higher the yield, the more attractive the shares are to those who seek competitive dividend payments./li>li>strong>Earnings Per Share: /strong>As the name suggests, this ratio looks at how much profit a company is making in relation to the number of shares it had outstanding. The higher the EPS, the money income there is to distribute to shareholders./li>/ul>p>There are dozens of other stock market ratios that help you become a more informed investor. As such, dedicate some time learning a few more to help take you investment endeavours to the next level./p>h3>strong>Tip 2: Stay Informed of the Fundamentals /strong>/h3>p>We can’t stress enough just how important it is to keep abreast of key stock market developments. Known as ‘fundamental’ research, this means that you will be keeping an eye out on financial news./p>p>After all, the stock markets are based on demand and supply. If a positive news story breaks about a company, then naturally, its share price will increase. The opposite will likely happen if a negative news story breaks./p>p>For example:/p>ul>li>When the ‘FinCEN Files’ leak broke in September 2020, evidence showed that several UK banks were behind em>major/em> money laundering failings./li>li>In turn, the stock value of those mentioned in the leaks was negatively impacted/li>/ul>p>At the other end of the spectrum:/p>ul>li>Apple smashed through market expectations upon releasing its Q3 earnings report/li>li>As such, its shares increased by 6% in a single day of trading/li>/ul>p>Ultimately, while you might not have the capacity to check financial news stories each and every day, you should at least have a grasp of key developments./p>h3>strong>Tip 3: Assess What the Future Holds for the Company /strong>/h3>p>It is important that you make some considerations as to where the company will likely be in 5, 10, or even 20 years. At one end of the spectrum, the likes of Microsoft and IBM are established companies with a solid balance sheet. They have already enjoyed much of their growth, meaning that much of the focus is on dividends./p>p>a hrefhttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.37.43.png relattachment wp-att-101>img loadinglazy decodingasync classsize-full wp-image-101 aligncenter srchttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.37.43.png altScreenshot 2020-09-30 at 17.37.43 width647 height452 srcsethttps://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.37.43.png 647w, https://stocksmarkets.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Screenshot-2020-09-30-at-17.37.43-300x210.png 300w sizesauto, (max-width: 647px) 100vw, 647px />/a>/p>p>However, this isn’t the case with the likes of Netflix and Tesla. The former, for example, is still operating in a huge growth industry that is year-by-year inching away at traditional TV content. And the latter – although Tesla is already one of the largest companies in the world in terms of market capitalisation – it is only just about making a profit./p>p>Furthermore, it is involved in an industry that is likely to dominate in years to come – electric vehicles. The key point here is that you need to have a long-term entry and exit plan in place. In doing so, you’ll give yourself the best chance possible of choosing companies that can meet your financial goals./p>h3>strong>Tip 4: Diversification is Crucial/strong>/h3>p>Divirficiation is super important when investing in shares – even more so if you’re a beginner. This simply means that you are ‘diversified’ across multiple shares that come from several industries and sectors. In doing so, you are not overly exposed to a specific market. Instead, you are well-diversified and thus – are able to mitigate your long term risk./p>p>An example of a em>badly/em>-diversified portfolio:/p>ul>li>A portfolio that is badly-diversified might hold £5,000 worth of shares in Natwest and £5,000 in HSBC/li>li>Put simply, if the wider UK banking scene takes a hit (like it did in 2008), then you are overly exposed/li>li>In other words, your portfolio is going to get dragged down as you are only focused on banking stocks/li>/ul>p>An example of a em>well/em>-diversified portfolio:/p>ul>li>Let’s suppose you have £10,000 to invest/li>li>You decide to purchase shares in 200 different companies at £50 each/li>li>These companies operate in multiple sectors – including but not limited to tech, retail, automobile, industrials, and tobacco/li>li>As such, if a particular industry were to struggle, you likely wouldn’t feel the impact anywhere near as much as you are well-diversified/li>/ul>p>It is important to note that an effective diversification strategy can be both time-consuming and costly when doing it on a do-it-yourself basis. For example, if you sign up with a broker that charges £10 per trade, a portfolio of 200 shares would cost £2,000 in fees!/p>p>You’d then need to pay the £10 commission when you get around to selling each share. Fortunately, brokers like eToro allow you to buy and sell commission-free. With that said, the easiest way to diversify is to invest in an investment fund. Whether that’s an ETF, mutual fund, or index fund – you’ll be investing in heaps of shares through a single trade./p>h3>strong>Tip 5: Time the Market  /strong>/h3>p>Timing the market well can often be the difference between making or losing money. After all, the stock markets typically move in cycles. For example, the vast majority of UK and US shares went on a downward spiral on the back of the 2008 financial crisis./p>p>Then, from 2013 onwards the trend reversed. In more recent times, the FTSE 100 lost over 30% in the space of a few in March as per the COV-19 pandemic./p>p>On the one hand, those holding shares would have encountered huge losses. However, those buying shares towards the bottom of the dip are now looking at substantial gains. As such, choosing the right stocks is often about timing the market!/p>h2>strong>Where to Buy Shares Online?/strong>/h2>p>So now that you how stocks and shares work, you now need to start thinking about which broker you plan to use. There are hundreds of such platforms active in the space that allow you to invest at the click of a button. However, many of these platforms won’t be conducive for your needs – either because they charge too much or don’t give you access to your chosen market./p>p>Some of the things you need to look out for before signing up with a broker are as follows:/p>ul>li>Is the stock broker regulated by the FCA?/li>li>Are your funds protected by the FSCS?/li>li>How much does the broker charge in share dealing fees and commission?/li>li>What stocks will you have access to?/li>li>What payment methods does the broker support?/li>/ul>p>As you can imagine, researching hundreds of providers is going to take you a significant amount of time.
