eToro Launches Recurring Investments for Long-Term Growth

eToro, a popular online trading platform, has launched two major updates to help everyday people grow their wealth over time in the UK, Europe, the UAE, and France. The first is an auto-investing tool that lets users schedule regular purchases of stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies. The second is a new partnership with Generali in France, offering life insurance and retirement savings plans customized for different financial goals. These changes show eToros commitment to making investing simple and approachable, whether users prefer hands-on or hands-off strategies.

The auto-investing tool allows users to set up automatic purchases starting at just $25 per transaction, with a limit of $5,000 per purchase and $25,000 per month. This feature works with various assets and builds on eToros fractional investing, which lets people buy small pieces of expensive stocks or crypto without needing to buy the whole thing. By setting up regular contributions, users can stick to a steady plan, no matter how the market moves, and take advantage of a strategy called dollar-cost averaging.

Tuval Chomut, eToro‘s Chief Solutions Officer, explained why this tool matters. “Auto-investing keeps people focused on their goals without worrying about market ups and downs,” he said. “It’s a simple way to make long-term investing work for everyone.” According to eToros recent survey of 10,000 investors in 12 countries, 45% already use regular investments to put in what they can afford. Other perks include saving time (41%), avoiding the hassle of guessing market trends (29%), and spreading out costs with dollar-cost averaging (25%).

Dan Moczulski, eToro‘s UK Managing Director, pointed out how auto-investing pairs well with fractional shares. “Users can put a set amount into a mix of stocks, ETFs, or crypto, no matter the price of each,” he said. “It’s an easy, no-stress way to grow wealth over time.” This tool comes alongside recent platform improvements, like accounts in British pounds and euros, which cut down on currency exchange fees for UK and European users, plus new tools to manage investments better.

In France, eToro has teamed up with Generali, a top insurance company, to offer retirement and savings products. This includes a Plan d‘Épargne Retraite (PER) and a life insurance option, both built to match different risk levels and financial plans. Managed through eToro Patrimoine, a local French branch, these products give access to over 500 options, like mutual funds, ETFs, stocks, and bonds. Users can pick ready-made portfolios that fit their comfort level or build their own using eToro’s online tools.

This French project builds on eToro‘s work to fit local needs. Last year, it added euro-based trading for eToro Money accounts and made it easier to invest in Paris-listed stocks. It also started offering French bank account numbers to make banking smoother. The new savings products let users choose between safer euro-based funds or riskier ones with higher potential returns, blending Generali’s insurance know-how with eToros easy-to-use platform.

“Our partnership with Generali gives French users solid, regulated ways to save alongside our trading tools,” said an eToro Patrimoine spokesperson. “Whether you want a guided plan or full control, we‘ve got options for long-term planning.” Everything is managed online, fitting eToro’s mission to make financial tools open to all.

These updates show eToro moving beyond just trading to become a one-stop shop for personal finance. The auto-investing tool helps users in the UK, Europe, and the UAE grow wealth steadily, while the French savings plans mark a new step into long-term planning. eToro is positioning itself as a go-to platform for everyone, from beginners starting small to experienced investors mixing up their portfolios.

If these French products do well, eToro might bring similar options to other parts of Europe, expanding its role in personal finance. By combining automatic investing, fractional shares, and tailored savings plans, eToro is helping users handle unpredictable markets and plan for their future with ease.
