How to buy EE shares

You can grab a slice of the UK's second-largest mobile network operator, EE, by buying BT shares.

You can't invest directly in EE – it's a division of BT. You can buy shares in BT, which acquired BT in 2016. BT is listed on the London Stock Exchange under the ticker "BT.A".

It's important to note that while BT's share price is influenced by the fortunes of EE, it's also influenced by everything else under the BT Group umbrella, like Openreach and Plusnet.

Alternative ways to invest in EE (BT)

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including EE (BT)), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

EE (BT) is a major part of the London stock exchange, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).
