Questions & Answers

Can I choose more than one portfolio?

Yes. There is no restriction either on the number of portfolios or on the individual categories (Greek, European, and International Markets). The only limitation is that you have to invest in portfolios with the same or lower risk than your investment profile.


What is the minimum initial capital and the subscription fee?

The minimum initial capital is €5.000. If you wish to reinvest in the same portfolio, the minimum amount is €1.000. The subscription fee (original and add on) is zero.


When does the Administrator rebalance a portfolio?

The regular rebalancing (the return of funds to the initially predetermined asset allocation) takes place every six months, with reference to the date of first participation. In addition, the portfolio manager (Piraeus Asset Management M.F.M.C) may make an emergency rebalancing of the portfolio when it deems necessary. Portfolio rebalancing is free of charge.


When can I liquidate my portfolio?

You can request a partial or total liquidation of your portfolio at any time. The minimum partial redemption amount is €1.000 and the redemption commission is zero. Partial redemption is a proportional liquidation of shares in all of the portfolio mutual funds, based on its current value.


Can I switch my portfolio to another?

No. It is not possible to switch your portfolio to another. You will have to make a total redemption of your portfolio and then invest the amount into the new portfolio of your choice.
