What is froots Global Equities?

As of 31. October 2025
Why not just invest in the MSCI World?
The MSCI World is a rigid index : it tracks the largest listed companies in developed countries by market capitalization. This means that the more expensive a stock becomes, the more weight it receives . As a result, more and more capital flows into stocks that have performed well – a mechanism that fosters bubbles and ignores opportunities in less popular markets.
Important: The size of a company says nothing about whether it is a good or bad investment.

The most important questions at a glance
What kind of return can I expect?
Please note that all investments involve risks and no returns can be guaranteed.
With froots Global Equities, our long-term goal is to outperform the market after costs. Individual performance may vary significantly depending on the timing of your investments.
Tailored Investment Service vs. Global Equities — What suits me best?
For most investors, our tailored Investment Service is the more suitable option, since it diversifies across multiple asset classes and therefore also takes the current attractiveness of equities into account when allocating the portfolio.
A Global Equities portfolio can be suitable for investors with a high tolerance for volatility, for example when using savings plans to build long-term wealth.
It can also be a good fit for investors who, based on their personal financial situation, want to use froots specifically for managing the equity portion of their investments.
Are there 100 percent equity portfolios available in the tailored Investment Service as well?
There are market environments in which we would shift the portfolios of our long-term, return-oriented clients to 100 percent equities. In the current market environment, however, equities are relatively expensive, and a full equity allocation would not be consistent with our investment approach.
How about costs?
An all-in fee of a maximum of 1% p.a. (including VAT) applies, plus the product costs of the ETFs, which are included in the performance.
There are no other fees. Account closure and withdrawals are also free of charge at any time.
The froots fee decrease over time and with the amount of assets invested. Here you can find a transaprent fee table.
How safe is money at froots?
Your money is held in your name in your own account at our Austrian partner bank, Schelhammer Capital Bank AG (founded in 1832, headquartered in Vienna).
Should our partner bank encounter difficulties, your investments remain protected as segregated assets.
Should froots cease to exist, you would only lose your portfolio manager.
Please note that investments in the capital market involve risks, and a pure equity ETF portfolio can experience significant volatility.
Am I bound to froots?
No, you are not bound to froots and can request a withdrawal at any time.
There are no transaction or closing fees.
Your assets will then be sold by us within a few business days and paid out to your designated bank account.
What is the minimum investment?
froots is accessible without significant barriers.
You can start with a global equities portfolio with a minimum investment of 1.500 EUR or with a savings plan starting at 75 EUR per month.

Additional deposits are possible at any time and will be invested within a few business days.
Please note that all investments involve risks, such as price, interest rate, liquidity, currency, country, or credit risks, up to and including the risk of total loss. Our investment approach aims to achieve a risk/return ratio that aligns with your individual preferences. Feel free to schedule a personal consultation to discuss this further.
