Frequently Asked Questions

What are the best ETFs for European investors?+
UCITS-compliant world ETFs tracking the MSCI World or FTSE All-World index are the most popular starting points. Low-cost options include the Amundi MSCI World (IE000BI8OT95), Vanguard FTSE All-World (IE00B3RBWM25), and iShares Core MSCI World (IE00B4L5Y983). Total expense ratios are typically 0.12–0.22% per year.
How does compound interest work?+
Compound interest means earning returns on your returns, not just on your original investment. €10,000 invested at 7% annually becomes €14,026 after 5 years, €19,672 after 10 years, and €76,123 after 30 years β€” without adding a single euro. The longer the time horizon, the more dramatic the effect.
What is dollar-cost averaging?+
Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) means investing a fixed amount at regular intervals regardless of market price. When prices fall, your fixed amount buys more shares. When prices rise, it buys fewer. Over time, this results in an average purchase price lower than the market average high, reducing timing risk.
