When you buy a share, you own a small piece of that company. If it grows and becomes more profitable, the value of your share can rise — and you may also receive dividends, which are regular payments from the company's profits.
Investing in individual stocks gives you complete control over what you own. You can back the companies you believe in, avoid the ones you don't, and build a portfolio that reflects your own research and convictions. It's the most direct form of investing — you're not outsourcing decisions to a fund manager or an index.
There's no single formula for picking winners, but many successful investors focus on a few key areas:
Through Abervest, you can trade stocks listed on major exchanges across the UK, US, and Europe — giving you exposure to thousands of companies, from FTSE 100 stalwarts to fast-growing US tech names and beyond.

Diversification matters as much with individual stocks as it does with funds. A common rule of thumb is to hold at least 10–15 stocks across different sectors and regions, so a downturn in any one area doesn't disproportionately hurt your portfolio.
Many investors combine individual stocks with ETFs to get the best of both worlds: core diversification through low-cost index funds, plus targeted bets on companies where they've done their homework.
