Take your first steps into the world of investment

Why invest at all?

  • Investing allows money to grow in the long-term
  • Anyone can invest – you can start with small amounts, even as little as 1 EUR
  • Inflation erodes the value of the money earned
Where to invest?

Please be aware that investing entails risks. The value of investments may increase or decrease over time. The historic yield does not guarantee a similar performance in the future.

Please note that the purpose of this quiz is to give an indication of the possible asset classes to consider when starting to invest, depending on your initial investment amount. This quiz is not investment advice, investment recommendation or an invitation to invest in any asset class mentioned in the quiz and it is not designed to evaluate the suitability or appropriateness of any asset class for your personal circumstances. Please use Appropriateness Questionnaire for assessing whether particular product group is appropriate for you or seek Investment Advice to find suitable investment and saving solutions.

The aim of this quiz is to demonstrate the investment amount sufficient for starting to invest in the respective asset class. The information provided is based on the considerations of the proportionality of the investment amount to the minimum transaction costs for respective asset class, where the bank deems reasonable that minimum transaction costs on average do not exceed 1% of the investment amount.

Which account to choose to start investing?

Investment account

Recommended!

Securities account

Investments are conveniently kept apart from your everyday transactions.
After each securities sales transaction resulting in profit, you need to perform the personal income tax calculation.
The personal income tax is payable from the profit only when the amount withdrawn from the account exceeds the amount invested.
The declaration of income is convenient and simple using the investment account statement which can easily be prepared via Internet Banking.
Preparing information and calculating the personal income tax for the declaration is more complicated as it involves manual calculations using the securities account and cash account statement.
Securities can be transferred to and received from third parties or family members.
Transfers of securities can only be made to your own account of the same status with another bank.
