STEP BY STEP BUILD UP WEALTH
Asset accumulation with savings plans offers many advantages. You invest continuously, regularly and automatically in interesting areas of the capital market. In this way, you can achieve long-term performance beyond classic investment products, which sometimes have close to zero interest rates and often do not compensate for inflation. Distributions and earnings are reinvested as part of a savings plan, if desired.
In cooperation with our partner ebase, we offer you a second account model in addition to the Interactive Brokers custody account to regularly invest in ETFs and funds with smaller or larger amounts.
You can find more information about ebase savings plans on our page ETF & Fund Savings Plans (ebase).
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT INVESTMENT FUND
For more information, please visit our Help Center
For whom are investment funds suitable?
Investment funds are suitable for investors who would like to invest their money in the stock market, but do not have the time and/or affinity to deal with it in detail themselves. Funds are mainly interesting for long-term and passive investors. Due to the large number of different investment funds, products can be found for a wide variety of investment styles and risk groups.
How can I invest in a fund through TWS?
You can easily write the symbol, name or ISIN in an empty field in the TWS. If the fund is not found immediately, you will be taken to a search window. Once you have selected the appropriate fund, right-clicking and then clicking on "Buy" will take you to the order screen, where you can fill in all the other details before submitting the order.
Which fund should I buy?
Every investor should first think about the time horizon of investment and the risk tolerance. In addition, you should define in which asset class(es) and, if applicable, in which countries or sectors you want to invest. Afterwards, you can compare various funds with each other in a further research, whereby our Tool for securities search can help.
What are the costs of investing in a fund?
A mutual fund has ongoing costs such as the management fee and other costs. The total cost of an equity fund is usually 1 % to 2.5 %.
What is the difference between a fund and an ETF?
An ETF automatically replicates an index and buys the securities contained therein in the corresponding number of shares. In the case of a classic investment fund, the fund company or the fund manager decides which shares are purchased at what time and in what quantity.
