NAO offers savings plan in alternative investments starting at €1

Berlin, August 05, 2025 — That WealthTech NAO fundamentally changes access to alternative asset classes: For the first time, users can use the NAO app (AppStore | Google Play) invest automatically from as little as 1 euro via savings plans — completely without a high minimum investment amount and manual orders. The new savings plans are a consistent development of NAO's business model and make previously exclusive forms of investment such as private equity, venture capital, private debt and infrastructure investments even more accessible to everyone.

Until now, investments starting at 1,000 euros were possible at NAO and had to be initiated manually. The new function fundamentally changes this: Users can set up automated savings plans that regularly invest a freely defined amount in selected alternative asset classes.

“With our new savings plans, we are making it possible for the first time to invest automatically in alternative asset classes starting at just one euro. In doing so, we eliminate barriers to entry for investors and dispel the stereotype that only wealthy and high-earners can invest in private markets. With one euro, anyone can start building up long-term wealth today. This is a paradigm shift that opens up these asset classes to the general public and which we see as a decisive step towards greater equality in investing,” says Robin Binder, CEO and founder of NAO.

Access to alternative asset classes opened

The new offering is aimed specifically at a young, digital-savvy and long-term thinking target group that is looking for stabilizing and high-yield investment opportunities beyond the traditional equity market. With the new savings plan function, they can build up assets with minimal capital expenditure in asset classes that were previously reserved for institutional or very wealthy investors.

“Our users want to invest in a diversified way and we are now making that even easier for them. Access to alternative investments must no longer be a privilege. By introducing savings plans, we are making NAO the first choice for anyone who wants to find out about private markets and takes modern wealth creation seriously,” continues Binder.

The savings plans can be created, adjusted or terminated directly in the NAO app — flexibly, transparently and without hidden fees. Users can currently invest in private equity, venture capital, infrastructure, private debt, as well as money market and hedge funds. The offering is being continuously expanded and expanded to include additional asset classes.
