Saving with funds made easy.
- Invest regularly in an investment fund of your choice
- Invest from 50 euro per month
- Please note that investing in securities involves risks as well as opportunities
What is the s Fonds Plan?
Some things seem almost impossible—until you do them for the first time. This applies to many aspects of life, including fund savings.
With the s Fonds Plan, we support you in investing. It allows you to move closer to your financial goals over the long term, even with small amounts. The s Fonds Plan combines gradual wealth accumulation with the return potential of securities. And it starts at just 50 euros with a fund of your choice.
Please note: The cost-average effect decreases over the duration of the savings plan, as the accumulated assets increasingly behave like a one-time investment of the total amount. Depending on market performance, a lump-sum investment may also prove more favorable. Investing in securities involves both opportunities and risks.
Your advantages
- Choose up to 5 suitable funds from our range of funds
- You can change or stop your deposits at any time
- Mixed rate due to the cost-average effect
Risks to be considered
- Fund prices are subject to fluctuations – depending on the securities included
- The payout depends on market developments – capital losses are possible
- Funds may contain various risks such as foreign currency risks, market risks, issuer risks and sector risks.
- Depending on the performance of the investment fund, the performance of an s Fund Plan will differ from that of a one-off investment (higher or lower). A loss of capital is possible in both cases.
Lower price thanks to the cost-averaging principle
If you regularly pay in equal amounts, you can achieve a more favorable average price than with a one-time purchase. The “cost-average principle” is particularly useful when prices fluctuate strongly, as you purchase more units when prices are low than when prices are high. Note: Selling units when prices are low can lead to losses.

Use compound interest
Your earnings are automatically reinvested in accumulating funds and can start working for you immediately.
Automatic value adjustment
If you wish, your deposits are automatically increased annually by a fixed percentage or euro amount. This way you can compensate for inflation.
5 Steps to the s Fonds Plan
In just a few steps, you can open your s Fonds plan with interesting funds.
Identify investment needs
Think about why you want to build up capital. After all, the investment need determines the amount of the deposit. You can invest from 50 euro per month.
Define the investment goal
Consider in advance when an investment is satisfying for you personally. Remain realistic. For the level of return also depends on your willingness to take risks and the time span.
Choose the right time span
With the s Fund Plan, you buy units on a regular basis. You buy more fund units when prices are low and fewer when they are high. This allows you to balance out possible price fluctuations over time.
Select investment funds
Now it’s a matter of choosing the right investment funds. Your risk tolerance and expectations about the level of return play an important role in the decision. The deposit can also be divided among up to 5 investment funds.
