Question 2

What is the difference between the 'ING Self Invest' and 'ING Easy Invest' investment solutions?

Accepted Answer

They are 2 of a total of 3 investment solutions you can choose from at ING.

ING Self Invest: With this, you get to work on your own. You just start completely online, trading your own investment products, managing your portfolio, etc. This is all done smoothly via the ING Banking app and Home'Bank. It goes without saying that in doing so, it is best to have some financial knowledge and try to keep yourself abreast of what is happening in the financial markets. That said, you can continue to count on ING to provide you with insights into the markets and support in the form of webinars, reports, etc.
ING Easy Invest: This is the ideal investment solution for those who want to start investing. With ING Easy Invest, you invest online, in one of the 4 funds managed by ING's investment experts. Each of the funds corresponds to a risk level. That means there is always a fund that suits you and how much risk you feel comfortable taking. With ING Easy Invest, you can invest either monthly (from 10 euros a month), with separate deposits, or both at the same time. You can follow the performance of your investments in the ING Banking app and in Home'Bank. Through Home'Bank, you can change your investment plan with no charge. In short, an easy way to invest.

Of course, you can combine both investment solution and invest with ING Easy Invest and also invest yourself with ING Self Invest.
