Yes, but you pay a part of it to the providers, they are not that cheap. But it's better to take money and multiply it than do without it, even if the fees are higher.
@DerUnwissende That's right, it's a pretty expensive custody account. But it makes sense to decouple the VL custody account for the sake of clarity alone.
I paid €40 into $EXXT via VL at ebase for seven years and then transferred it to scalable. It has performed well. Out of sheer nostalgia, I now simply continue to save €100 every month on the Nasdaq 100, but with a cheaper ETF. I now invest the paltry 6.65 that my employer gives me as a vl with Ginmo without any additional personal contribution and no longer bother with it.
@Ren13 I'm currently also still with Ebase/FZN... Do I understand correctly: You invest the 6.65€/month with Ginmon Global VL and then pay 0.75% fees per year?
@ur_dbfn That's how I would understand it. 0.75% on the deposit volume (not on the money paid in)!
I myself have my VL account with OskarVL. I also had a look at Finvesto at the time. A friend of mine is there.
However, I myself have only had ~1 year of experience with Oskar-VL. Opening an account, making a deposit and investing have not caused any problems so far.
