FAQs – frequently asked questions and answers about findependent
How does findependent earn money?
You pay us an asset management fee (0.20%), which together with the custody account fee amounts to 0.40% (or less, for investment sums of CHF 50,000 or more). The fee is calculated on the value of your investment solution at the end of each quarter and debited directly to your findependent account.
Is findependent safe?
findependent is a FINMA-licensed asset manager. FINMA is the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority. Your funds are held securely in a securities custody account with our partner bank. All ETF investments are not included in the liquidation assets, neither in the event of the bankruptcy of findependent nor of our partner bank. The ETFs are special assets. Only the 2% of your investment amount, which is always held in your findependent transitory account, falls into the bankruptcy estate. However, you are protected up to CHF 100,000 by the depositor protection.
How much interest does findependent pay?
The findependent account only holds 2% of your investment amount, we do not pay interest on this. In the past, the findependent investment solutions returned between 2.9% and 5.8% per year (on average over a period of several years and net, i.e. after deduction of all costs).
What to do with the money in your savings account?
With a broad-based and favourable investment solution, you can benefit from long-term economic growth. This allows you to make more of your money and prevents the purchasing power of your savings from falling due to inflation. With a medium risk appetite, you can expect an average annual return of around 5% over a longer-term investment horizon.
How can I invest money without risk?
Nothing happens entirely without risk. Even a savings account harbours risks, in this case in the form of a loss of purchasing power due to inflation. However, if you invest in a broad-based investment solution, you can significantly reduce the fluctuation risks. With a long-term investment period, the probability of success can even rise towards 100%.
What should I invest in?
Invest broadly and make sure that the instruments used are cost-effective. Investment solutions that rely on ETFs have proven their worth. The longer the investment horizon, the higher the proportion of equity ETFs can be. The shorter the investment horizon, the more different asset classes you should hold, such as bond ETFs, property ETFs and precious metal ETFs.
