Frequently asked
Questions a curious investor might ask
How does investing with different currencies work?
Building a global portfolio is important, and we want to make it as easy as possible to do that.
Lightyear's multi-currency investment accounts mean you can invest and hold money in USD, GBP and EUR. So whether you're investing in local funds or global ETFs, we've got you covered. This way, you don't have to be constantly converting your money between currencies - which is subject to FX fees.
How are my assets protected?
Trusting us with your investments is not something we take for granted. Lightyear Europe AS is a licensed investment firm and as such is bound by strict regulatory obligations in how we handle and protect your assets. We do this via a process known as safeguarding. You can find full details about how we safeguard in our help centre.
All Lightyear customers have their assets covered up to the amount of 20,000 EUR by the Estonian Investor Protection Sectoral Fund. Read more about this fund here. This protection covers all accounts regardless of the owner’s residency country.
Can I request new funds?
Absolutely! If there's a stock or a fund you want that we don't yet have, there's a very quick way to request it in-app. Simply write the name of the instrument you're looking for in the search bar, and then hit request. Our team goes through all requests periodically and when possible, we make these instruments available.
Where can I find the Key Information Documents for available funds?
All key information documents (KIDs) are available on our KIDs page, and can also be downloaded from individual fund pages.
