How it compares
Is impact investing a good idea? Yes, of course! We know there are many myths surrounding it, so let’s bust them!
Some people think it doesn’t earn you much money, some others think it’s complicated. Actually, 7 out of 10 people find that the complexity of the financial language is stopping them from investing.² Maybe that’s why only 39% of investors invest sustainably. However, it’s actually quite easy and very competitive.²
Good Performance
The returns from sustainable investing are very competitive and are comparable to conventional investment alternatives.³
Impact can be measured
The performance of funds is reported, and companies doing good are happily sharing their successes. So you can directly see the impact you're making, and we'll help you keep track of it!
Easy to get started
Sustainable investing is getting increasing focus of investors - it's our dream to make it the new normal. Getting started is as easy as picking out a cause in our app, and putting a few Euros towards it - simple. We'll cut through the jargon and guide you as your portfolio grows.
