What is the difference between findependent and a broker like Swissquote or Saxo?

5. April 2025/in (1) Getting started & Account opening

The main difference in one sentence: With a broker, you have to do everything yourself; with us, you get an all-inclusive, hassle-free package.

A broker (e.g., Swissquote or Saxo Bank): For the DIY investor:

You choose, buy, and sell all securities (stocks, crypto, etc.) entirely on your own. This gives you maximum freedom but also requires a lot of time, knowledge, and research. Ideal if you want to trade actively and bet on individual stocks.

findependent: The all-inclusive package:

You simply deposit money, and we take care of the rest. We create a professional, broadly diversified investment solution for you and monitor it. Ideal for long-term wealth accumulation without having to constantly worry about the markets.

The best of both worlds: Your custom findependent solution:

Want more say? Then build your own personal investment solution from our selection of around 40 pre-selected, high-quality ETFs. You benefit from our expertise while still having the freedom to set your own priorities.

You can find more information about the differences on our information page.
