Buy Apple Shares in the UK: Investment Tips & Strategies

If you choose to trade directly in Apple shares, you will need to open an account with a FCA-regulated broker that provides access to US markets and can accept investments in GBP. This process will require personal details, verification of identity and funds to be transferred into your new account. Once you have done so, you can then search for Apple shares using the company ticker symbol, AAPL, on your chosen trading platform. Once you have found the Apple shares you wish to buy, you can place a’market order’ which will be bought at the current market price (although this can fluctuate slightly before it is executed) or you can set a ‘limit order’ which allows you to specify a maximum amount that you are willing to pay for the shares.

Another way to buy shares is through a fund, such as an ISA or SIPP. These offer the opportunity to spread your risk across a range of shares and can be managed on an ongoing basis by a professional investor team. The fees for buying and selling in a fund are usually lower than direct purchasing, but they do come with their own risks.
