Choose an investment online

If you’re a member and comfortable choosing an investment, you can begin investing now. Our step-by-step guide lets you choose the fund that’s right for you.

Investing through Nationwide

Investing for 6 years or more could help grow your money faster than savings, helping you beat inflation and build a nest egg for the future.

We’ve worked with Aegon, our trusted third-party investments provider, to bring you a simple range of 4 carefully selected funds. By investing with us, you can:

  • Invest with a lump sum, monthly payments or both, plus you can top up anytime.
  • Choose a Stocks and Shares ISA to maximise your ISA allowance; we also offer a General Investment Account.
  • Check how your fund is doing online, by logging in to your Aegon Customer Dashboard.
  • Get quarterly statements on your investment’s performance.
  • Withdraw your money and switch between funds, without penalty charges.

Bear in mind, Nationwide sells funds, products and the platform as a package. These may be available separately outside Nationwide through other providers.

Important:

The value of your investment can go down as well as up so you may get back less than you originally invested.

It’s important to invest for at least 6 years to help ride out any changes in the market. That said, you can take out your money at any time.

An investment fund is a pool of money that a number of investors pay into. It is used to collectively invest in assets, such as company shares. Fund Managers aim to keep the fund performing at its specified risk level.
