Discover diversification

One of the most effective ways to lower your risk is to invest in a variety of instruments and sectors—so if one part of the market dips, your entire portfolio isn’t as affected.
 
This is called diversification.

Our diversification guides will walk you through how to create a well-diversified investment portfolio, manage risk wisely, and aim for steady growth over the long term.

The power of compounding

Curious about how your investments can potentially grow over time? Compound interest is a powerful financial principle that can help your money grow as you earn interest on your initial investment, plus interest previously accumulated.

Enter your details below into our Compound Interest Calculator, and see how your investments could possibly multiply.

The calculator and graph above are for illustration purpose of potential growth over time and does not take into account that investments typically experience both good and bad periods. They do not constitute financial or investment advice. Annual returns are influenced by factors such as the market and the composition of the portfolio. Savings are affected by inflation, taxation, exchange rates, and fees, which are not included in the calculation example. Financial instruments can both rise and fall in value, and there is a risk of capital loss. Financial instruments such as funds and ETFs have costs that affect returns—see costs for each investment on the platform before investing. On our platform, you can also view historical data for securities and indices, but past performance is not a guarantee of future ones.

"Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it. He who doesn’t, pays it."

– Popular finance adage (often attributed to Albert Einstein)
