We provide an integrated service where we give people a chance to experiment from different challenges and little lifestyle changes delivered through chatbots. You have smart scales and a smart watch and a continuous glucose meter, and then people check at their wearable data and sensor the data and see if things are working.
On top of that, we have support through personal health coaches. That really guide you through what things to change or what things are making an impact and, and the hope is that little by little people will make small changes, integrate their mass habits, and over time they will compound into big changes.
Because I identified that whatever worked for me, probably work for a lot of other people in my situation: you know, middle aged people, professionals that don’t have a lot of time, they probably have kids. They’re already having the first signs of an unhealthy metabolism and lifestyle. Like, high cholesterol, high blood pressure. And, uh, we found that this worked much better than the typical fat diet, trying to go to the gym, not going to the gym, and all of those typical things that people are told to do.

Aion Bank, a full service digital bank, today announced the acquisition of ETFmatic. ETFmatic works with some of the best exchange traded funds (ETFs) in the world to offer a transparent end-to-end service to investors.

Aion Bank has acquired low-cost ETF investment platform ETFmatic, a new digital bank in Belgium backed by private equity giant Warburg Pincus.
Aion launched last March as a subscription-based bank, with its €3.90/month Light account offering high-interest rates of up to 1 per cent and its €19/month Premium account offering automated ETF investing.
This is where the ETFmatic acquisition comes in, Aion says the deal will help it create new investment products in more countries, while ETFmatic will continue to operate as a stand-alone brand.
Wealth and investment offerings are fairly few and far between among digital banks right now. Currently, Revolut offers direct access to stocks, crypto and commodities trading, but not the kind of robo-advice offered by a Nutmeg or Wealthify.
Aion Bank, now with ETFmatic’s help, is clearly trying to find a market in the middle for neobank plus robo-advisor.
For ETFmatic the deal will also see an expansion of its white-label service across Europe, the service which Aion used to launch its ETF investment product.
“ETFmatic has been a great partner since our Belgian launch in March 2020,” said Aion CEO Wojciech Sobieraj.
“We are the bank designed to help our members save and earn more, and portfolio management is a key product as we prepare to expand across Europe.”
Next up on that expansion is Poland, where the bank is due to do live later this year.
Johan Hellman, CEO of ETFmatic, said: “ETFs have seen significant growth during the pandemic, and I anticipate investors will continue to look to ETFs as we see market recovery in the quarters to come.”
The deal has already been approved by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority and is effective immediately, no financial details of the deal were disclosed.
FT Adviser - Robo-adviser launches tax monitoring featureLuis Rivera
Europe-wide robo-adviser has launched a capital gains harvesting feature to help its clients optimise their investments and reduce the need for aggressive asset allocation rebalancing.
ETFmatic's new feature will work by identifying and selling those ETFs that have increased in value and replacing them with similar ones to ensure the same asset allocation exposure is maintained for clients.
The robo-adviser claims to be Europe's only digital wealth management platform that offers ETF portfolios in sterling, Euros and US dollars.
Luis Rivera, chief executive of ETFmatic, said: "Investors in Europe deserve cost effective portfolio management with asset allocations that make sense to them. Our aim is to offer clients more of the kinds of services that have historically only been available to individuals with several million to invest.
"Since our launch two years ago, we have continuously been developing new solutions which add further value to our services. The new capital gains feature lays the groundwork for further tax optimisation tools around loss harvesting in the future."
ETFmatic will begin rolling out the service to clients in 32 European Union states. Initially, it will only be available to eligible clients with portfolios of GBP/USD/EUR 50,000 plus.
The company has said those who are not familiar with capital gains tax or the tax-free allowance should seek professional tax advice before deciding whether to enable the feature on their account.
It charges 0.48 per cent on portfolios of up to GBP/EUR/USD 25,000, and 0.29 per cent for those of more than GBP/EUR/USD 25,000 and above.
ETFmatic has not disclosed how much it has in assets under management.

A ETFmatic, a primeira gestora robótica de patrimónios a operar em Portugal, tem clientes em 32 países, entre os quais as maiores economias do mundo como Alemanha, França, Reino Unido, Espanha e Finlândia, mesmo assim o nosso país é um dos seus cinco melhores clientes, revela hoje o Observador.
Há quase uma década que os gestores-robot são uma realidade nos Estados Unidos, país onde já administram mais de 45 mil milhões de euros. Mas na Europa o caminho tem sido mais lento, e em Portugal a ETFmatic é aliás a única empresa a usar este modelo de gestão de património – em que o dinheiro dos clientes é investido automaticamente através de algoritmos - e começou o operar há apenas um ano e meio.
"Portugal é agora um dos cinco principais mercados" da ETFmatic, "definitivamente, não estávamos à espera", revela o empreendedor espanhol que fundou a ETFmatic, em Londres, Luís Rivera. O gestor não revela números, mas avança com uma explicação para o sucesso em Portugal: "Muito do nosso crescimento está a vir de países onde os emitentes de fundos cotados não investiram no desenvolvimento, [logo] a nossa oferta é mais disruptiva."
Na mesma entrevista ao Observador, o fundador da ETFmatic conta que os investidores nacionais são mais conservadores do que no resto da Europa. A carteira mais comum entre os portugueses tem 40% aplicado no mercado accionista e 60% em fundos de obrigações, revela Luís Rivera. Ao nível europeu, a carteira mais popular tem 80% exposta a acções e 20% a obrigações, de acordo com as estatísticas mais recentes da companhia londrina. Isto acontece "apesar de [os portugueses] serem ligeiramente mais novos", com 32 anos, afirma Luís Rivera.
FT Adviser - Passive platform announces fee cutLuis Rivera
ETFmatic, a provider of exchange traded funds (ETFs) has announced a reduction in its fees.
The annual management fee on its range of passive portfolios of less than £25,000 will be 0.48 per cent, a reduction of 0.02 per cent.
For portfolios of greater than £25,000, the annual management fee drops to 0.29 per cent, from the previous 0.30 per cent.
When admin and tax costs are added, this takes the total expense ratio of the portfolios will be 0.60 per cent for the portfolio below £25,000, and 0.45 per cent for those above, according to the company.
Citywire - Online Investment firm cuts management fees to under 18sLuis Rivera
A pan-European robo-advice firm is hoping to hook in the next generation of investors with a zero management fee for under 18s.
ETFmatic, which operates in the UK and 31 other European countries, began offering the service in October. Nations hit the hardest by the financial crisis, such as Spain and Ireland, have provided the most clients, the firm said.
Product director Johann Bornman said: ‘Time and compound interest are incredible allies in achieving your financial goals. A simple way to ensure the highest possible rate of compound (return), for the level of risk you are willing to take, is to keep your costs as low as possible.
‘Paying high fees might send your banker’s kids to nice schools, but severely impacts where your children will call their alma mater.’
ETFmatic also recently removed management fees for women for a limited period, in a bid to close the gender gap among its clients.
Robo-adviser offers fee-free investing for womenLuis Rivera
Women who open and fund an account with ETFmatic will not pay investment management fees for six months.
The robo-investor’s campaign is designed to throw light on the investment gender gap, which typically sees men in a better position to invest than women who are more likely to take career breaks or a cut in hours to raise their children.
The ability for women to invest may also be hampered by the 18.6 per cent salary difference for all types of employment and 9.4 per cent for full-timers.
While the gender pay gap is closing Deloitte estimates it will only slam shut in 2069, if the current trend perseveres.
Attitude to risk is a further factor that adds to the differences between men and women.
Several studies have found women are more likely to put money into savings accounts, rather than invest.
ETFmatic concludes this indicates a lower tolerance for investment risk, which needs to be addressed if women are to achieve long-term financial goals.
Stefanie zu Dohna, client and operations director at ETFmatic, said: “At ETFmatic 10 per cent of our clients are female. The average age of our customers is 34 years. This is an age where lots of people settle down and start seriously thinking about their investments for the future.
"But this is also an age where many women are likely to be taking time out of full time work to raise children and earnings may decline - any savings put to one side on a regular basis need to work harder to meet long term financial goals.
“For the next month any woman that opens and funds an account with ETFmatic will have zero investment management fees for six months.
"We hope this helps plug any investment gaps, and encourages more women to use digital wealth management platforms as an alternative investment solution that’s quick, easy, transparent and secure.”
Susan Hill, chartered financial planner at Susan Hill Financial Planning, said: “There is a need for women to take control of their finances. They like to have a plan and to work towards a goal, however they are more cautious than men, and take more time to consider their options.
“I think male advisers don’t always help as they work differently to women and can come across as a little patronising. The solution is to get more female advisers out there and, of course, to ensure sound financial education starts at an early age, and is delivered with both genders in mind.”

Desde que comenzó su andadura en junio de 2016, ETFmatic ha realizado una rápida expansión internacional que le ha llevado en tan solo seis meses a ofrecer sus servicios en España, Portugal, Bélgica, Irlanda, Suiza, Dinamarca, Letonia, Austria, Estonia, Países Bajos, Polonia, Bulgaria, Croacia, Chipre, República Checa, Finlandia, Francia, Alemania, Gibraltar, Grecia, Hungría, Islandia, Italia, Liechtenstein, Lituania, Luxemburgo, Malta, Noruega, Rumania, Eslovaquia, Eslovenia y Reino Unido.
Luis Rivera, consejero delegado (CEO) de la compañía, destaca que ofrecen “más flexibilidad que otros robo-advisors ya que permite gestionar un portfolio único para cada cliente”.
Asimismo, llama la atención en otras de las ventajas de ETFmatic que “ofrece costes menores que la banca tradicional, con fácil accesibilidad las 24 horas los 365 días del año a través del móvil y que permite la apertura de una cuenta de inversión en 32 países en tan solo cinco minutos. Los inversores continentales tienden a pagar tarifas más altas, por lo que encuentran en los robo-advisors a un gran aliado para minimizar costes mientras generan altas rentabilidades”, explica.
Esta aplicación, continúa la firma en un comunicado, “se diferencia de los productos existentes en el mercado por configurar un portfolio personalizado y único para cada cliente en función de su perfil de inversor (conservador, medio o agresivo), su edad y sus ingresos, así como las metas financieras establecidas, y no en base a los intereses de aquellos que lo comercializan. De este modo, según los datos registrados el servidor establece de forma automática una cartera diversificada diseñada para cumplir los objetivos de rentabilidad marcados”.
Además, continúa, se trata del primer robo-advisor que está disponible directamente desde el móvil sin necesidad de entrar en una página web, a través de una herramienta de gestión simple y ágil. Desde la aplicación, los clientes pueden abrir una cuenta de simulación con fondos virtuales ilimitados para comparar beneficios y tarifas con variantes tradicionales. Y la inversión mínima requerida es de 100 euros.
Según asegura el CEO de ETFmatic, “todas estas ventajas son posibles gracias a que hemos desarrollado una completa regulación y tecnología que nos ha permitido eliminar intermediarios y ofrecer un servicio completo a coste inferior comparado con la competencia”.
