• Freedom of Choice: Share your investment idea!

Hi there,

I would really appreciate if bunq would add the AGRI3 Fund as an additional investment option. This would add a second "future proof" investment option - and, IFAIK, enable bunq users to invest (at leats through bunq as a third aprty) personal assets in that fund, which seems to be not possible otherwise yet.

What is the AGRI3 Fund? Basically a tool to support sustainable agriculture and forestry. For more see https://www.unenvironment.org/news-and-stories/press-release/dutch-government-and-rabobank-announce-anchor-investments-agri3-fund

    @TimothyA#149084 It would also be a possibly giant hassle to get correct.

    How would you ensure that those that took money out of the pool will pay it back? What if they don't can pay back? How would you calculate that likelihood in order to set the right interest rate?

    Or do you mean that it's always 1on1 lending? In that case that would probably be the wrong thread for that

      @Hannes-H93#149885 I just said it was a great idea. No idea how it would be to implement , but I do like the idea.

        Not sure if it’s been asked before, but is the meat industry on the no go list?

            ℹ️ Moderator (Sander): Dear everyone,

            We are getting many reactions on this topic, but unfortunately 99% is off-topic. Please only comment below in case you have a new suggestion of a potential new category for Freedom of Choice. Investments in your own/someones elses private company to help you grow are examples of something to not post, the same applies to comments like "Ok", "Great!", "I love it", etc. Please check the existing ideas above first, high-five the ones you like, and when something really is missing, then feel free to add it below. ⬇️ Thanks! 🙂 Your bunq Together moderators.

              Warum bietet ihr überhaupt die Möglichkeit an in schlechte Unternehmen die zum Beispiel in der Rüstungsindustrie sind zu investieren? Wie stellt ihr sicher, dass mein Geld dort nicht investiert wird?

                @Sebastian-Navy-Jaguar#154126 Das sind die veröffentlichten Richtlinien von bunq, was das Investieren betrifft: https://www.bunq.com/de/assets/media/legal/de/20190923_terms_bunq_Socially_Responsible_Investing_DE.pdf Das Investmentportfolio von bunq wird nicht von ihnen selbst, sondern von dieser Firma geführt: https://www.asrvermogensbeheer.nl Diese halte sich an die von bunq aufgestellten Kriterien, die u. A. ein Investment in Rüstungsunternehmen ausschließt. Ganz genaue Informationen über das Portfolio haben wir leider nicht.

                Edit: Actually a lot of bunq's criteria are also already ASR's criterias anyway, as it seems https://www.asrvermogensbeheer.nl/duurzaam-beleggen

                    As a gentle reminder this topic is for ideas how bunq invests our money without 'users noticing it directly'. Banks are allowed (and obligated) to invest a part of our deposits. Thus this topic is not for investment tools that users could use directly with their funds. Please keep this in mind when posting ideas here.

                    Also, highly volatile investment instruments such as crypto (likely not even allowed by supervising authorities) and investments without a return on investment aren't interesting for a bank.

                        Ich finde den MSCI World Aktien Index interessant und da einen ETF. Bspw: iShares

                        Wie sehr ihr das? Zu konkret?

                          @Kressmann-Coaching#158949 Entweder der oder Vanguard FTSE All World. Ist zumindest privat meine erste Wahl 😉 Beide werden aber nicht jedem gefallen, da in den klassischen Indizes keine ethische Wertung/ Aussortierung stattfindet. Schade, dass bunq kein Depot anbietet.

                              It would be nice to be able to choose from shares that pay dividents, in that way you have a constant income of up to 10% / year for life without having to sell the actual shares.

                                  I have 3:
                                  - Creative sector (culture, artists, art and everything surrounding it)
                                  - Innovation and high tech (including startups)
                                  - Startups (everything not only tech)

                                    Have any of the ideas shared here actually been added since the introduction of MassInterest?

                                      @Steven-Grey-Akita#162184 95% of ideas here (not all, but many) are non-related to the Freedom of Choice / MassInterest feature and people just read "Share your investment idea" to then post about ETFs. Still, though, there haven't been any categories added since its introduction.

                                      The current categories are also very broad and cover a huge spectrum, so personally not really sure what would make sense to add here. Maybe they could be made more granular? Like, give us more types of companies or such.

                                        Effectivement un détail minimal dans chaque « catégorie » serait appréciable.

                                        Pour une nouvelle catégorie, j’aimerai pouvoir voir « système bancaire et assimilés ».
                                        Bunq est un nouveau type de banque, c’est le moment de le prouver en pouvant refuser que notre argent engraisse un vieux système qui c’est largement gavé sur notre dos.
