Mintos debuts in France and the Netherlands

Mintos has officially launched in France and the Netherlands, as the alternative investment platform continues to expand across Europe.

Last month, Mintos entered the Italian and Spanish markets, and in January the platform launched in Germany.

Since the company was founded in 2015, it has attracted more than 500,000 users across Europe, and currently manages more than €600m (£513.3m) in assets under administration.

“In the ever-evolving landscape of investment, we want to emerge as the go-to platform for investors seeking sustained portfolio growth over time, prioritising stability over speculative gains,” said Martins Sulte, chief executive and co-founder of Mintos.

According to a recent survey, almost a quarter of all French individuals reported owning investments in financial instruments or crypto-assets, while 35 per cent of newer investors said they were primarily driven by the desire to diversify their savings. Sulte said that this indicates French demand for alternative investment products such as Mintos’ Notes.

Meanwhile, a report from the Dutch regulator found that approximately a quarter of all private households in the Netherlands actively engage in investment activities.

“These findings underscore the widespread interest and participation in investment opportunities among Dutch households, reflecting a growing awareness of the importance of financial planning and wealth management,” added Sulte.
