Trading platform eToro Group Ltd and BlackRock Inc (NYSE:BLK) have teamed up to provide retail customers with access to five ‘core investing solutions’ built from BlackRock’s iShares ETFs across various asset classes, including stocks and bonds.
These ‘Smart Portfolios’ introduced by eToro aim to provide users with a range of investment strategies, from conservative to high-risk options, thereby accommodating different financial goals and risk tolerances.
Each portfolio is constructed with a specific investor profile in mind, taking into account factors such as growth potential, stability, and risk appetite.
Smart Portfolio options are:
- Core Income: Aimed at conservative investors seeking stability and consistent income
- Core Stability: Designed for low to moderate-risk investors, focusing on balanced growth and income
- Core Moderate: Caters to investors looking for a balance between growth and risk
- Core Dynamic: Targets those seeking aggressive growth despite market volatility
- Core Equity: Appeals to high-risk investors focused on long-term capital appreciation
An initial investment threshold is set at US$500.
BlackRock will provide allocation guidance, with each portfolio comprising 10-25 iShares ETFs.
“Introducing core investing portfolios to eToro's platform marks a significant addition in our product offering,” said Dani Brinker, head of investment portfolios at eToro.
“Through these new portfolios, we can empower our users to build a robust core allocation, laying a stable and risk-managed foundation for their investments.”
