It’s time to change the finance sector for the better! EVERGREEN is the first fee of charge digital asset manager in Germany. They offer a transparent, simple and flexible way for everyone to invest or save your money. On their website, you can start investing with as little as 1€, save on different savings targets with digital sub-deposits (called Pockets), transfer or withdraw any sum, any time and check the movement of the investment on a daily basis - all free of charge. Based on the ESG framework and the 17 UN sustainable development goals, EVERGREEN strictly selects assets for their sustainable mutual funds. According to the EU Taxonomy regulations, both funds are officially declared as sustainable financial products. To keep things simple for you, EVERGREENs daily in-house risk management protects against high fluctuations of the investment while ensuring a steady increase in value. When things get critical on the capital markets, their experienced fund managers reduce the risk in the customer portfolio and ensure participation when markets are rising, using their own forecast-free risk management tools. Saving up for retirement, your next project or buying a home must become a basic right for everyone. That's the idea behind EVERGREEN.
