What is Cash-Invest?
Cash-Invest is an investment product from quirion for money that you need at short notice and want to park at interest. It invests in short-dated money market ETFs and stays flexibly available.
An important difference from a call money account
Cash-Invest is not a call money account and does not offer a guaranteed interest rate. There is no fixed commitment such as „2% for 12 months". The income follows the current short-term money market rate, which can rise or fall at any time. Goal: to generate a return that is above the average market interest rates for call money for private customers.
Key points: dynamic and low-risk strategy, optimal positioning in the money market segment, default-proof ring-fenced assets of the ETFs
If you want a fixed interest period, you need a classic fixed-term deposit offer. quirion also offers a call money account at 1% p.a. for maximum security with no fees.
Who is Cash-Invest suitable for?
Short-term interest-bearing reserves (investment horizon up to approx. 1 year)
The exact date when you need the money is not fixed
Usually a higher return opportunity than a conventional call money account, with low fluctuations.
Money that is not meant to be part of long-term wealth building
Costs
0.48% p.a. management fee + approx. 0.10% ETF product costs.
Frequently asked questions
What are ETFs (index funds)?
As an alternative to open-ended, actively managed investment funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs) have become established in recent years.
An ETF tracks a given index as closely as possible and adjusts its composition to match its reference value.
When you buy an MDAX ETF, for example, you get all the securities included in the MDAX in exactly their current market composition. If the composition of the MDAX changes, the composition of your ETF changes too.
As a result, the management and administration fees for an ETF are significantly lower. On average they are around 0.17 percent of the invested amount per year. When a fund manager actively looks after your investment funds, the costs rise to 1.5 to 2.5 percent per year.
At the same time, many studies show that in over 90 percent of cases an active fund manager cannot beat the index over the long term.
What does Global Portfolio mean?
If you opt for our Global Portfolio, you invest across the entire breadth of the market. From the risk you are willing to take, we derive the composition of your portfolio. More equities mean more risk – but also more return. More bonds, by contrast, reduce the risk – but also the return.
The Global Portfolio is generally suitable for building wealth. You can also take out our Global Portfolio in a sustainable variant.
How does account opening work?
First, you register via “Open account” on our portal. To do so, you sign up with your email address and a password of your choice.
You then receive a PIN code by email to verify your email address. Once you have entered this PIN code, your personal details, contact details and ID details are recorded.
Finally, you have the choice between identity verification in the quirion app, on your computer, or at a Deutsche Post branch. Your quirion account is then opened for you without delay.
How does online video identity verification work?
quirion has to be certain that you really are the person for whom the account or the securities account is being opened.
For banks, the German Anti-Money Laundering Act requires an identity verification check.
With quirion, you have the choice:
You can verify your identity by video call in the quirion app or on your computer.
In-person identity verification at Deutsche Post is also possible.
For this you need a valid identity card or your passport plus proof of address (e.g. a phone bill).
The easiest way is to verify your identity with our app.
Once identity verification is complete, we receive your data and can then open your account.
How does the PostIdent "Basic" procedure work?
We can only open securities accounts for you once it is clear who you are.
With the PostIdent "Basic" procedure, Deutsche Post verifies this for us:
1. You print out the securities account opening form.
2. You go to a Deutsche Post branch with your identity card or passport (in addition to your registration certificate).
3. The Post employee fills out the form, which you then have to sign.
4. We then receive the data for verification and open the securities account for you.
5. There are no costs for you.
