Pension provision on autopilot mode
Until now, Max took care of his investments himself. In doing so, he invested a lot of time, often missed out on returns, and experienced sleepless nights.

What our clients say about us

Active management is usually overpriced, but paying less than 1% for froots service is definitely worth it.

I used to invest on my own before. However, due to my family situation, I often lacked the time for it. That's why I now leave it to the experts at froots.

Froots is definitely in a class of its own. I wonder why no other financial institution has replicated it yet.

Grow my savings
How flexible am I with froots?
With froots, you are very flexible. You can access your money anytime and withdraw it for free from your account. You can also close your account with us anytime at no cost. If you have a monthly savings plan, you can easily adjust or pause it whenever it suits you. We want you to have full control over your investments and be able to customize them according to your needs.
What types of assets am I investing in with froots?
Based on your goals, your money will primarily be invested in equity ETFs (Exchange-Traded Funds) initially, and over time, it will be shifted into bond ETFs and other low-risk products. This way, you can benefit from the attractive returns of the financial markets while avoiding unnecessary risks.
You can find a detailed breakdown of the assets and investment strategies in the description of our investment strategy on our website.
Who takes care of the taxes?
At froots, we take care of the tax processing for your investments. We collaborate with an Austrian partner bank that automatically withholds the capital gains tax (KESt) on your securities earnings for Austrian customers. So, you don't need to worry about calculating or paying the taxes yourself.
What will happen to my funds in the (unlikely) scenario of froots filing for bankruptcy?
No worries, in the unlikely event that froots were to cease to exist, your money would remain unaffected. It would still be held in your personal portfolio, in your name, with our partner bank. At froots, we are essentially the strategists who sensibly invest your money, but you remain the owner.
Even if our partner bank were to go bankrupt, your securities portfolio would be designated as a special asset, separate from the bank's balance sheet. Thus, it would always belong 100% exclusively to you.
What amounts can I start investing with?
You can start investing with as little as 150 EUR per month or a one-time payment of 1.500 EUR. You can also adjust the monthly payment anytime and make one-time payments whenever you choose.
