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.

CHF, EUR, USD and GBP. However, regardless of your account’s main currency, investment strategies invest only in USD. This means that the investment amount will always be converted to USD 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.

After your entry deposit of a minimum of USD 500, Invest Easy will automatically invest your available cash balance anytime there are at least USD 100 in your account. Your account details can be found under Payments & Transfers.

You can open as many Invest Easy accounts as you wish, bearing in mind that each account allows for one single strategy. Furthermore, remember that you can also switch strategies anytime.

You can review the portfolio value and/or performance of your strategy on the Invest Easy dashboard. The performance is expressed both in terms of absolute performance (actual performance of your investment, in figures) and Time Weighted Rate of Return (historical performance of your portfolio, in percentage). Click on the indicator of your choice to reflect the performance in the chart.

Additionally, Invest Easy clients receive their Annual Performance Report for each one of their accounts, which can be downloaded from the section “Documents” in their Invest Easy dashboard.

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.
