Frequently Asked Questions

About finmarie

Our goal is to help educate women about finance and how to invest their money in a self-directed way. We want to see more capital in the hands of women. Our belief is that social equality requires economic equality. That’s why finmarie is rethinking finance — we want to make the financial market more transparent, to make investment easier and to ensure that financial topics and tools are more accessible to women.

We wanted a name that works internationally. “fin” comes from “fintech,” or “finance.” Marie is a name that appears in numerous languages; and we think women can identify with it more easily. It was also important to us to avoid classic names with “bank” or “trade” because we want to be a bit provocative and break with industry standards. finmarie is a service by and for women!

Our mission: to make women financially independent and facilitate their access to the financial market. Transparent, holistic and independent advice is our be-all and end-all. We want women to know the options when it comes to investment strategies, financial planning, retirement planning, real estate financing and insurance. That’s why we offer various formats: classic financial coaching, online courses and simple tools such as Robo Advisors and the finmarie app, which provides an individual investment profile and interesting, browsable courses on the key financial topics.

We offer various financial education formats specifically focused on women, such as classic financial coaching, financial workshops and masterclasses, but you’ll also find digital solutions to start investing directly. As an example, our Robo Advisor offers both sustainable and standard investment options, and in our app, we offer bite-sized financial knowledge to guide women to their first investments in just a few clicks.

About sustainable investment with Vividam

There is a way to do this. During the registration process you will be asked for your tax number (for ebase). Enter a dummy number (any number) there. When the deposit account is opened, you need to fill in the attached tax residency form and send it back to us. We will forward it to ebase. With IDnow, you will have no problem as an expat or nomadic worker.

No, you can always choose which investment style you prefer. You can invest through one or both of the systems in any partial amounts. We will be happy to advise you. Here you can book your financial coaching.

Impact investment is a subcategory of sustainable investing. It involves investing in companies, organizations and funds with the goal of making a social and/or environmental impact in addition to financial returns. Impact investments can be made in both developed and developing markets. Impact investments are often project-specific and differ from the philanthropy approach (where no financial returns are expected). At Vividam, impact investing also includes special thematic funds (water, climate, renewable energy, etc.). Since the publication of the 17 UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) in 2015, more and more investors are measuring and reporting their impact against these 17 goals.

It’s typical that the fees for any active fund (which also include impact funds) are higher. The reason is that active sustainability research, which includes, for example, critical discussions with companies, the involvement of experts and advisory boards, etc., incurs time and cost. These costs are partly passed on to the funds.

Sustainable investing is the general term for sustainable, responsible, ethical, social, environmental investment and any other investment process that incorporates the influence of ESG (environmental, social and governance) criteria into its financial analysis.
