Monthly income from the whole market, not a single bet.
The Broad Market option invests through liquid instruments that track the broad U.S. equity market. Capital is spread across approximately 500 leading companies so that no single business determines the outcome of the plan.
Monthly payments are made through scheduled redemptions. Returns, payment duration and remaining capital are not guaranteed.

The portfolio is implemented with liquid, index-based instruments. There is no attempt to time markets or to concentrate capital in a small number of names.

05 / FAQ
Broad Market questions.
- What does the Broad Market strategy hold?
- Liquid instruments providing exposure to the broad U.S. equity market, typically UCITS instruments tracking the S&P 500 index, which covers approximately 500 leading U.S. companies.
- Does diversification remove risk?
- No. Diversification reduces the impact of any single company, but the portfolio remains fully exposed to equity-market declines.
- How are monthly payments funded?
- From dividends, other portfolio income and the partial redemption of portfolio holdings on a scheduled monthly basis.
- Which currency risks apply?
- The underlying companies are primarily U.S. dollar denominated, so euro-measured results are affected by EUR/USD movements.
