    Aqumon is the first US ETF robo-advisor (automated investment consultant) in Hong Kong. You tell them about yourself and your risk appetite, and they build an investment portfolio and do everything (buying, selling) for you. The Planto team has deep-dived into Aqumon’s pricing and account opening process to help you decide if they’re right for you.

    🎁Endowus: Enjoy Access to Institutional-Grade Fund Investment Opportunities! 100% Sales Commission Cashback
    Users can enjoy institutional-grade fund rates and 100% sales commission cashback, saving up to 70% on fund investment costs.

    Background

    Aqumon was incubated in HKUST and are fully licensed by the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) for Type 1, 4 and 9. They’ve partnered with 60+ financial institutions including CMB Wing Lung Bank, ChinaAMC and BOCI so they have a strong track record as well.

    How it works

    The account opening process is end-to-end online and can be done either via mobile or on a computer. It can feel a bit longer than opening an account with a securities broker but, ultimately, it only took us about 10 minutes to open our account and then another day for the money to be transferred in.

    Once you’ve opened your account, you answer a few questions about your risk tolerance and Aqumon will start building your portfolio. All you need to do is tell them whether you would like your portfolio to have more stocks (higher risk, higher return) or bonds (lower risk, lower return) and a new portfolio is created just for you!
