Viainvest launches new auto-invest product
Viainvest has revamped its auto-invest product, including pre-defined investment strategies, more data and a redesigned settings page.
The European platform, which connects investors with consumer loans, is now offering ‘active’ and ‘diversified’ automated strategies to all clients who have completed a product suitability assessment and have automated investments available.
The active strategy prioritises products with the highest interest rates and invests more in a single offer if it is consistent with the strategy goal, while the diversified strategy ensures that the customer’s investments are spread across as many securities as possible.

“In addition to pre-defined strategies, investors can continue to use your own custom automated investment strategy whenever they want to fine-tune the rules and retain more control over the investment process,” Viainvest said in a blog on its website.
Viainvest strategies are designed to invest in accordance with their objectives and automatically adjust to available offers. The company says this simplifies the investment process as there is no need to actively manage them or worry about the settings. It can also maximise returns by keeping funds invested at all times.

The platform also announced that its auto-invest settings page has been redesigned to be more user-friendly.
“Investors can now create a custom strategy with a minimal number of settings, and additional filters can be added to meet their specific needs,” it said. “When one of the filters is selected, an explanatory message is displayed to help the investor understand the filter’s potential impact.”
