About True Wealth
Founded in 2013 by Oliver Herren, founder of digitec Galaxus, and Felix Niederer, physicist and portfolio manager, True Wealth revolutionized wealth management by introducing a scalable, easy-to-use and affordable online wealth management platform (aka robo advisor) that offers outstanding diversification and global participation even for smaller portfolios.
Our vision is to combine our asset and wealth management expertise with scientific methods of modern portfolio theory, offering an online wealth management platform that is easy to use, transparent and cost-efficient.
True Wealth is an independent wealth manager licensed by FINMA to manage occupational pension schemes and is also subject to its direct supervision.
