Trending topics offer you an overview of some companies and investment products that correspond to a specific theme. You can invest in some of these themes (you'll see Investable under the topic name if it's possible).
Trending topics are a compilation of stocks that capture a specific theme, such as sustainability, the metaverse, or technology. You can invest directly in these without buying individual shares. To do this:
- From Wealth or Cash, tap Browse
- Go to Trending topics
- Tap the section title or scroll right to browse all topics
- Choose a Trending topic
- Select Invest then Buy
How it works
- An index is created for each investable topic (comparable to the DAX), which weighs the stocks using a passive stock selection algorithm. You can find the algorithm in a publicly available index guide.
- When you invest, you don't own the individual stocks in the index. Rather, you own an index certificate issued by Société Générale, which replicates the overall development of the index. This is done taking into account the index components and their weighing within the index. In the case of dividend payments, these dividends are reflected in the performance of the index.
- You can invest in a trending topic for as little as 1 EUR. An additional management fee is charged for each top topic, which is automatically deducted from your managed assets. This is comparable to the Total Expense Ratio (TER) for ETFs.
