Max B., 35

ETFs are not new to me, I have been investing like this for several years. But now I leave it to froots, because they have a better overview of the market and I can take care of other things.
Barbara M., 43

Actually, I waited far too long to do something with my savings. I'm now happy that I don't have to invest it myself, but that experts are now taking care of it.

I had been looking for an alternative to my expensive investment products for quite some time. With froots I know that my money is in good hands.

An investment account will be opened in your name at our Austrian partner bank, Schelhammer Capital Bank. Monthly savings plans can automatically be deducted from your savings account, and paused or adjusted by you at any time.

How froots compares to other savings plans
What differentiates froots from other ETF-savings plans

Continuous adjustment to your time horizon
Over time, we continuously adjust your portfolio to keep the right risk/reward ratio for your investment horizon.
Flexibel & Transparent
You can adjust, pause or even stop your savings rates at any time via our froots customer portal. In addition, you have access to your money at any time. With our all-in fee of 1% per year, we not only ensure attractive conditions, but also 100% transparency.
Personal advice and service
You can always contact us if you need advice or service on your investments. We are here for you online and in our office in Vienna.
Invest with experts
Patrick is deeply involved in finance and has been investing in several ETFs. However, with the market developments of the last few months, he has noticed that he has become more uncertain whether he has always made the right decisions. With froots, he has found a partner that offers professional portfolio management, independently selects the best ETFs worldwide, and has a transparent cost structure.
Start small
Anna started saving for an ETF recommended by her husband some time ago. However, she was never sure if it was the right thing for her and also has too little time to deal with it sufficiently. With froots, she now has the opportunity to invest the same, small amounts in a broadly diversified ETF portfolio that also suits her conservative attitude to risk.
Savings plan for grandchildren
Dirk set up two savings plans for his grandchildren at his local bank a few years ago. However, he is not satisfied with the costs, the support or the performance. The low costs and personal service at froots now make it easy for him to build up a long-term financial cushion for his grandchildren. In addition, he can flexibly adjust the savings plans at any time and keep track of everything.
Start now
Elisabeth wants to build up a financial nest egg for the long term, but has far too little experience to take care of it herself. She has heard a lot about ETFs, but has never really started investing. With froots she can now simply open a custody account and leave the ETF selection to experts. It caters to her risk tolerance and personal goals without requiring her to make a long-term commitment.
This is how your ETF savings plan would have developed so far
