Aviva Investment Account

Before you invest

To open a new Investment Account, you'll need to be eligible and to set up your payments. There's also a level of risk you'll need to be aware of. You should be prepared to invest for the medium/long term (5 years or more).

You can open an account if:

  • You're aged 18 or over
  • You are a resident in the UK, or you or your spouse or civil partner work overseas for the UK Government

You'll need to:

  • Set up regular payments of at least £25 a month or make a single payment of £500.
  • Understand that the value of your investment can go down as well as up and you could get back less than has been paid in
  • Be comfortable managing your account and investments online

If you're looking to invest in shares or other exchange traded investments, you will be able to do this from any available cash once your account is open, rather than selecting your investments as part of your account opening application.

If there's ever a conflict of interest which we can't prevent that might affect your investment, we promise to let you know.
