Decide on your risk profile and which deposit options are suitable for you. Investing made easy: • Invest in a globally diversified portfolio of ETFs. • Low (fixed and variable) fees. No transaction costs. • Automatically invest on a daily, Weekly or monthly basis. How is my money invested? With Peaks you choose one of four portfolios: Cautious, Balanced, Ambitious or Adventurous. Every portfolio has a different distribution between stocks and bonds. Stocks (ownership in a company) fluctuate in value. Bonds (loads to governments and companies) are more stable. With bonds you take less risk, however they can also provide lower returns in comparison to stocks. You are also able to customize your own portfolio. This way you can make a selection from 16 different thematic and regional index funds. As an example, you can choose to only invest in Dutch companies or invest in companies that focus on automation & robotics or sustainable energy. All funds offered by Peaks are carefully selected and provided by internationally recognised index fund providers such as iShares, UBS and DWS. This is important to ensure high quality.

You can also invest your windfalls, set aside a fixed weekly amount or perform one time deposits whenever it suits you. You can withdraw your funds at any time. How much does Peaks cost?

Good to know We do not want you to take unnecessary risk. That’s why it is important to only invest money you can afford. After all, the value of your investments always fluctuates. Picture this: you need money right away, but the value of your investments is going down. Then you risk losing a chunk of your deposit(s) because you are selling your investments at a loss. An investment account should be an addition to your usual savings. Would you like to know more? Visit www.peaks.com Investing always involves risks.
