Frequently asked questions
How do I open an account with Alpian?
To open an account with Alpian, begin by downloading the app, available for both iOS and Android devices. During the sign-up process, you will be asked to provide some personal information and complete a quick ID verification to ensure security and compliance.
Eligibility requirements: You must hold a valid Swiss residence permit and provide an original, valid passport or national ID. Please note that photocopies will not be accepted.
Activating your account: The final step to activate your account involves making a deposit that must come from a bank account registered in your name at a licensed bank located either in Switzerland or a FATF country.
Important: Because of FINMA regulations, deposits from neo-banks and financial platforms that do not hold a banking license such as Neon, PayPal, Revolut, Yuh, or Wise are not accepted.
What specific products are included in Alpian's investment portfolios?
Our management mandates are based on ETFs. To select the ETFs included in our portfolios, we followed a rigorous selection process across 4 sub-asset classes: Fixed income, equities, commodities, and digital assets. Learn more
How does Alpian handle kickbacks and retrocessions?
At Alpian, we prioritise integrity and transparency. We adhere strictly to a policy of not accepting any compensation from third parties that could influence our service to our clients. In exceptional cases where such compensation is unavoidable, we pass the full amount directly to you.
Our collaboration with external advisors, including entities within the Intesa Sanpaolo Group, is conducted with the utmost respect for these principles. We remain exclusively responsible for all investment decisions made as part of our discretionary portfolio management services, as well as for all our investment recommendations. This ensures that our advice is always objective, transparent, and tailored to your unique financial goals and needs.
Can I withdraw my funds at any time?
Absolutely, there are no lock-in periods with your investments at Alpian. You can access your funds anytime, with liquidation typically occurring within two working days after your request.
When you request a withdrawal or close an investment mandate:
For Managed by Alpian / Managed by Alpian Essentials mandates: Orders are executed during the next rebalancing.
For Guided by Alpian: Orders are executed at the next investment cut-off (around midday) after you submit them.
Please note that it takes 2 working days for trades to settle (the exchange of the instrument for cash with our broker). Once settled, the cash will be available to you.
Where are my investments held?
Your investments are securely stored in a personal account at Interactive Brokers. This independent custodian arrangement ensures that your assets are safe and accessible at any time, while you benefit from our expert management.
Are my investments hedged, and why?
Yes, our portfolios are primarily hedged in Swiss francs. This hedging strategy effectively reduces currency risk, providing greater stability, especially for Swiss investors. Unlike many competitors, whose performance can fluctuate significantly with currency movements—such as when the euro fluctuates—our approach helps ensure a more stable investment experience for you.
Are my investments safe and private?
Alpian, as a bank supervised by FINMA, offers the suite of protections and safeguards inherent to Swiss banks. The protection of your wealth and personal information is our utmost priority.
