How to invest £500 a month in a Stocks & Shares ISA and aim for £1m
Investing £500 a month in a Stocks and Shares ISA, with the goal of reaching £1m, is a classic demonstration of the power of compound returns and the importance of starting early. The principle is simple: by consistently investing a fixed amount and allowing returns to compound over time, wealth can grow exponentially. This is not just theoretical. Historical data from the S&P 500, the world's most-watched stock market index, shows why a 10% annual return is a reasonable long-term expectation for equity investors. The S&P 500 has delivered an average annual return of about 10% since 1957, including dividends. This figure is not a guarantee for every year — returns can swing wildly from one year to the next — but over decades, the average holds remarkably steady. For example, over the last 30 years, the S&P 500's average annualised return has been around 9% to 10%, even after accounting for periods of dramatic losses like the dot-com bust and the global financial crisis. Over the last 10 years, the average has been even higher, at approximately 11.3% annually. These numbers illustrate that, despite short-term volatility, patient investors who stay the course are often rewarded. The real magic happens when investing starts early. With £500 invested each month at a 10% annual return, the compounding effect means that after 10 years, the balance could exceed £100,000, but after 30 years, that sum grows to over £1.1m. The vast majority of this final amount comes not from the contributions, but from the interest earned on previous gains. This is why time in the market is so valuable: the longer the money has to grow, the more powerful compounding becomes. Planning for the future by investing early and consistently is the surest way to harness the full potential of the stock market's long-term returns. Of course, the actual investing can be the hard part. Novice investors often make the wrong decisions and can lose money. The Monks Investment Trust (LSE:MNKS) is a long-established global investment trust managed by Baillie Gifford, with a focus on achieving long-term capital growth rather than income. Investors may be more familiar with its larger sibling, Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust. Its approach is patient and actively managed, seeking out a diversified range of growth stocks from around the world. The portfolio is spread across regions including North America, Europe, the UK, Japan, developed Asia, and emerging markets, with significant allocations to sectors such as technology, industrials, consumer discretionary, and financials. This broad diversification helps to reduce risk and smooth out returns over time. As such, it may be a good place to start for novice investors looking to achieve immediate diversification. Performance data shows that Monks has delivered strong long-term results, with a share price total return of approximately 198% over the past 10 years and a net asset value (NAV) total return of 192% over the same period. Risks? Well, gearing — borrowing to invest — is always a concern as this can magnify any losses. However, I certainly believe it's an investment worth considering. It's also present in my daughter's pension and mine. The post How to invest £500 a month in a Stocks & Shares ISA and aim for £1m appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.

Up 37% in a year, the BT share price could have another 56% to go
The latest BT Group (LSE: BT.A) share price surge started in May 2024, when the telecoms giant announced the turnaround point in its fibre broadband rollout. Capital expenditure should start to fall, revenue and profits should rise, and shareholders should break into happy smiles as they work out what to do with their rising dividend cash. Well, that's the idea. And the share price has responded well. Since then we're looking at an increase of more than 80%, with a 37% gain in the past 12 months. The improving outlook has made most broker forecasts more optimistic than they've been for years. They predict a 60% rise in earnings per share between 2024 and 2027. The prospective dividend yield stands at around 4.2% now. It was suspended and then rebased to half its previous levels in the Covid years. And after that, I'd say it's looking sustainable again. And if that doesn't make BT shares look attractive enough, broker price targets might make the difference. The top of the target range stands at 299p. That's a whopping 56% ahead of the price at the time of writing (27 June). Admittedly that's the most optimistic prediction I could find. But only this week, Berenberg raised its price target to 240p. The private bank — founded in 1590, so there's long term for you — sees 'defensive growth.' It also suggests there could be a sharp dividend rise in 2027, as the end of broadband rollout expense should improve cash flow. That 240p is 25% ahead of BT's share price today. Morgan Stanley has also recently raised its price target for BT stock. Previously set at 225p, the global financial services firm has raised its sights to the same 240p. But the real caution comes from the range of price predictions. Those two are in the bullish end of the range, but the average is only a few pennies above today. And there's a low-end level of just 118p, for a 39% fall. To get a feel for who might be right, we need to turn to BT's stock valuation. And that's where debt makes things tricky. Net debt reached £19.8bn in the 2025 fiscal year, a bit more than the company's market cap. Anyone who buys today is effectively putting only around half their money into BT's actual business We're looking at a forecast price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of about 11 based on 2028 forecasts. And if it wasn't for the debt, I might see that as screaming cheap. But adjusting for the debt, we see an effective P/E valuation for the business itself of about twice that. Perhaps not such an obvious bargain. It is, however, possibly closer to a fair valuation than I think I've seen for a long time. Because of the debt and uncertainty surrounding valuation, I won't buy BT shares. But those who favour these broker target upgrades could do well to consider BT for long-term income.

BAE Systems: here's the latest dividend and share price forecast!
A rupturing of the geopolitical landscape has supercharged the BAE Systems (LSE:BA.) share price in recent years. The FTSE 100 defence giant has risen 233% in value since the start of 2022, a rally first sparked by Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Since then, orders, sales, and profits have rocketed higher as broader spending by NATO members has increased. Fears over Chinese expansionism and fresh conflict in the Middle East have further reinforced military-related spending. Even after rising 38% in the last 12 months alone, the Square Mile's brokers broadly believe BAE Systems shares will continue to rise over the near term. There are 12 brokers who currently have ratings on the FTSE share. As the chart shows, the average price target among them is just over £20 per share, representing a 9% increase on current levels of approximately £18.36. But the number crunchers aren't unanimous in their largely bullish view. One especially optimistic analyst thinks BAE's share price will rise as high as £23.50 per share. But at the other end of the scale, one broker thinks it will drop back to £16. There's a lot of cash sloshing around in the company's coffers, underpinning the City's bright forecasts. Free cash flow was £2.5bn on 2024, and the business predicts this will be 'in excess of £5.5bn' in the three years to 2026. That's up from a prior forecast of above £5bn. Reflecting this, City analysts also believe annual dividends will continue rising sharply over the next couple of years at least: A 35.7p per share payout is tipped for 2025, up 8% year on year. A 39.4p per share dividend is expected next year, up 10%. If these forecasts are accurate, the dividend yield is 1.9% and 2.1% for these years. That's below the FTSE 100 long-term average of between 3% and 4%. However, expected dividend growth is better than the 1.5% to 2% increase analysts tip for the broader blue-chip index. It will also keep BAE's long record of annual dividend increases going (cash rewards have risen each year since 2012). Based on City expectations, then, BAE Systems may look to some like an attractive share for capital gains and dividend income. But there are significant risks to buying the company. One is a potential drop in US defence spending. This is the FTSE company's single largest market and responsible for around half of revenues. There's also the danger that the growth of ESG (environmental, social, and governance) investing will limit demand for its shares. However, there are also significant investment opportunities as NATO countries ramp up defence spending. This month, all 32 group members (except Spain) agreed to splash out 5% of their GDPs on defence by 2035. To put that in context, spending averaged 2.2% across the bloc in 2024. BAE systems has the scale, the geographic footprint, and the expertise across multiple technologies to capitalise on this opportunity. This is reflected by its record order backlog of £77.8bn at the end of last year, up 77% in just three years. More major contract wins in 2025 include a $356m contract from the US army to support armoured multi-purpose vehicle (AMPV) production. While not without risk, I believe the company is worth serious consideration today. The post BAE Systems: here's the latest dividend and share price forecast! appeared first on The Motley Fool UK.
