cost averaging

Paying into my s&s ISA am I better off paying in once a month or every week? I mean it's not a huge amount only 100 a month overall but it's alongside other savings and pensions.

Or is it not worth worrying about as it's such a small amount

The latter, I'd say.

Is there a fee each time you invest? If so you'd be paying higher fees for no benefit IMHO.

Nope it's just an invest engine account

Longer term doesn’t matter a jot.

Only matters when you get volatility over the period of investment, but over the longer term markets tend to trend up. So the earlier you’re invested the better.

Fair enough it's easier if coming out in one anyway
