Avanza is introducing Avanza USA, the latest addition to its funds with record-low fees. The low total cost of 0.17% allows more Swedish savers to step into the world’s largest stock market – and do so sustainably.
“The US stock market contains many of the largest and best-known global companies, and is also the most popular international market among our customers. With Avanza USA, we now want to give even more people an opportunity in a simple and inexpensive way to access and invest in the world’s largest stock market”, says Jesper Bonnivier, CEO of Avanza Fonder.
The goal of Avanza USA is to generate a return in line with an MSCI Index, where sustainability aspects are also taken into account in the index’s composition. To varying degrees, the index excludes companies engaged for example in controversial weapons, nuclear weapons, civilian firearms, tobacco, alcohol, pornography and gambling, as well as companies with more than 30% of their income from coal. Instead, it includes companies in each industry that stand out on the basis of good governance and are the best at managing environmental and social aspects in their businesses.
The management fee is 0.10% and the total annual cost for the customer is approximately 0.17%, including annual fees and transaction costs. This makes Avanza USA Sweden’s cheapest* US mutual fund for individual investors.
“At Avanza, customers should get a better return on their savings than anywhere else. In addition to low fees and risk diversification, it is for us a question of making it easier for our customers to invest sustainably. This makes Avanza USA an excellent complement to our other Avanza funds. Together, the funds provide a broad and solid foundation for long-term savings. At an unbelievable price as well”, says Rikard Josefson, CEO of Avanza.
