INVEST EASY

If you just started sinking your teeth into the investment world and you find it too vast; if it’s hard for you to put money aside and make it grow; or even if you’d just like a little bit of guidance along the way, Invest Easy is the best complement to your finances.

With professionally predefined strategies, competitive pricing and user-friendliness at its core, our tool allows you to save your money while generating interest, or to automatically invest it in a variety of products, so your assets and capital are put to work for the long term.

Both saving and investment strategies are available in CHF, EUR, USD and GBP. However, regardless of your account’s main currency, investment strategies (Prudent, Balanced and Ambitious) invest only in CHF. This means that the investment amount will always be converted to CHF first.

You can top up your Invest Easy with your credit card or by transferring funds to your account, either as a one-off payment made at your convenience, or by setting up regular payments.

If you’ve chosen one of our investment strategies, after your entry deposit of a minimum of CHF/EUR/USD/GBP 500, Invest Easy will automatically invest your available cash balance anytime there are at least CHF/EUR/USD/GBP 100 in your account. Your account details can be found under Payments & Transfers.

Invest Easy’s Saving strategy is fee-free.

The investment strategies cost a flat fee of 0.60%. To this, external product fees are added, based on the strategy chosen*:

• Prudent Strategy: 0.21%
• Balanced strategy: 0.19%
• Ambitious Strategy: 0.14%

*The product fees are approximate and subject to change over time, depending on the underlying costs and the weight of each underlying.

When it comes to the investment strategies, you can open as many Invest Easy accounts as you wish, bearing in mind that each account allows for one single strategy. On the other hand, the Saving Strategy allows only for one account. Furthermore, remember that you can also switch strategies anytime.

• Multi-currency strategy: your capital can be in CHF, EUR, USD and/or GBP

The investment strategies propose Tracker Certificates, tailor-made by Swissquote’s experts. With Tracker Certificates, investors have simple and cost-effective means of investing in an entire stock market without having to own each of the individual stocks, fixed income, commodities, real estates or cryptos. Tracker Certificates also facilitate access to exotic markets in which clients would otherwise not be able to trade via their bank or broker.

Tracker Certificates have been for years one of the most popular structured products. They trade in lockstep with the price movements of a given index. Most of these products are tied to recognised stock market barometers. Thus, with a single investment in a Tracker Certificate, investors can diversify their risk exposure across a wide range of individual stocks, fixed income, commodities, real estates or cryptos through ETFs and ETPs.
