True Wealth started 10 years ago as the first Swiss Robo Advisor to revolutionize digital wealth management in Switzerland. From the beginning, True Wealth’s pioneers relied on fully automated processes.
This strategy is paying off: True Wealth is experiencing strong and consistent growth, reaching another milestone just 10 years after its founding: the online wealth manager reaches 1 billion in client assets under management in its direct business.
Swiss ETF Saving boom continues
Exchange-traded index funds, or ETFs, have been the central pillar of True Wealth’s digital wealth management offering since the company was founded around ten years ago. «ETFs were then, and still are, the best tool to invest in a diversified and efficient way», adds co-founder Oliver Herren.
ETFs have made wealth management more accessible, liquid and cost-effective, Felix Niederer, True Wealth’s CEO says.
«We pass this advantage directly on to our clients. However, with over 10’000 exchange-traded index funds now available, making the right choice is becoming increasingly important – this is where professionals should step in. We understand this business and select the most efficient investment instruments in the interest of our clients»,
Niederer said.
True Wealth also announced that it intends to continue growing in the direct business. To this end, it is constantly investing in product innovations.
