Frequently asked
Questions a curious investor might ask
How do I create a plan?
To create a Plan, just go to the Portfolio page on your web or mobile platform, scroll down to the bottom of your list of investments, and choose ‘Create a Plan’.
Which stocks and funds can I add to my plan?
Most instruments on Lightyear are available to add to your Plans. Keep in mind that fractional instruments can be auto-invested into through recurring payments; non-fractional instruments will have to be bought separately, outside of your recurring contributions.
Money Market Funds can’t be added to Plans.
Can I invest in a pre-made plan, without having to create one myself?
Pre-made plans are on our roadmap, hopefully launching very soon. For now, you can easily create Plans by choosing stocks and funds to include, and giving them each a weighting based on your investment goals.
When will plans be available in my Stocks and Shares ISA?
Currently, Plans are only available in your GIA, but we’re working hard to launch them as soon as possible for ISAs as well. We’ll make sure to notify you when it’s ready!
