4 investors and 4 approaches to investing and diversifying your portfolio

Stocks, bonds, ETFs – these are the traditional financial instruments most people start their investment journey with. But how to enrich your portfolio with something innovative, profitable and, what's more, meaningful? Today’s Slovak investors, including well-known business personalities, are now diversifying their investment portfolios by crowdinvesting in proven local companies and real estate.

Direct investment in companies is often only available to large players with sufficient capital and to investment funds. So, how to access such investment opportunities and possibly invest alongside these professionals? Crowdberry’s crowdinvesting platform gives individual investors the opportunity to get involved and start earning.

Thousands of Slovaks have already discovered direct investing in local companies and now these opportunities are opening up to an even wider audience. Some investment opportunities start from only 1000 € and, by investing through Crowdberry, you can not only become a co-owner of successful companies, but also lend to them and become their ‘banker’.

The magic lies in everyone being able to find their own investment opportunity that is close to them – either because of the nature of the business, or simply the one in which they see the greatest potential for appreciation of their invested capital.

Ivan (41 years old), doctor: investments in transparently verified companies

Ivan is a medical doctor and doesn't always have the time to thoroughly vet companies that he would like to invest in directly. However, he has discovered an investment platform where he can find detailed information not only about the investment opportunity, but also about the company itself. This gives him a detailed overview of the company’s business, how stable it is and how his money will be used. In addition, he considers himself to be more of a conservative investor, so prefers to lend capital to companies in exchange for regular interest payments. This is how he lent to the Pohoda Festival, for example. The fact his investment will be paid back at the agreed time with interest gives him a sense of security.
