Our SmartFlex solutions offer you the following options:
Strictly speaking, both are funds. They are similar in that they both invest not just in one stock or in one bond, but rather in a range of stocks or bonds. This is how investors spread their investment risk. One of the main differences between investment funds and ETFs is the way that securities are selected for the investment portfolio. As a rule, the selections for investment funds are made by a fund manager or possibly even by a committee of experts. ETFs usually automatically replicate an index, such as the SMI. This is where the terms actively managed funds and passively managed funds (= ETFs) come from. Investment funds that use fund managers generally involve higher costs. ETFs have considerably lower operating costs because they don’t have anyone actively managing them.
AXA invests your money based on the investment strategy you choose. With digital and personal services, we help you define an investment strategy that meets your needs for security, returns, and availability. We take care of everything in advance to ensure that you have an efficient mix of ETFs, index funds, and actively managed investment funds at your disposal. In established markets, we invest in affordable ETFs and index funds. In markets with more challenging structures, we enlist the expert knowledge of qualified fund managers to unlock additional performance opportunities.
Our SmartFlex solutions offer sustainability-themed funds as an investment theme. With regard to the EasyInvest product, we can provide you with the portfolio and the corresponding sustainability classification of the funds.
Just like your income, any interest you earn – such as on bank accounts or on bonds – is taxable. Dividend income from equities is also taxable. Any interest earned is taxed based on the marginal tax rate.
Example: You earn 1% in interest on your savings account at a marginal tax rate of 30%. After the tax deduction, your net interest income is 0.70%.
Important: With endowment insurance, such as the SmartFlex investment plan, no income tax is payable on dividends and interest. You pay a one-time stamp tax of 2.5% when you start the investment, which is generally offset by the tax savings you make over the first four years (depending on income tax, interest and dividends). This is why endowment insurance is advantageous from a tax perspective over the mid to long term.

Do you want to make a profit without taking any risks? Sorry, that's wishful thinking. That said, investing your money can pay off, even on a small scale.
Those who want to build their savings for retirement reliably and over the long term will fare best with targeted investments in diversified shares.
As retirement draws nearer, you need to think about how you want your retirement savings paid out. You can choose between a regular annuity and a one-time lump sum.
