FAQ

What is a recurring investment?

A recurring investment (also known as a recurring order) lets you automatically invest a fixed amount into an asset, a pro investor, or a smart portfolio on a regular schedule.  

You choose the amount and date, and eToro places a market order for you each month.

Which assets support recurring investments?

You can set up recurring investments for:

• Stocks
• ETFs
• Cryptoassets
• Pro investors
• Smart Portfolios

Not supported: CFDs, leveraged or inverse ETFs, and elevated-risk stocks.

   You can also access your plans from your Recurring investment Portfolio.

How often can I invest?

Orders are processed at 14:00 UTC and executed at 14:45 UTC

What are the minimum amounts for recurring investments?

The current minimums are:

Stocks, ETFs, Crypto: US$25
Smart Portfolios: US$500
Copying a Pro Investor: US$200

Minimums may change. The app will always display the up-to-date minimum.

What happens if I don’t have enough funds when a recurring investment is due?

If your available funds do not meet the minimum for that plan, the order won’t be placed and that month’s occurrence is skipped.

Your schedule continues as normal the following month.

What if Ihave multiple plans but not enough funds for all of them?

Each plan is checked independently at the time it runs. If you have enough funds for one plan’s minimum, it executes; if not, it’s skipped. We do not split amounts across multiple plans.

Is there a priority order between my recurring plans?

Yes. 

If multiple plans are scheduled for the same time, they are attempted in the order they were created (oldest first). 

If earlier plans use your available funds, later plans may be skipped.

How do I make sure all my plans execute?

Ensure your available balance (or card limit) covers the total required minimums for all plans scheduled on the same day.
Example: 

Two Smart Portfolios + one Pro Investor =  $500 + $500 + $200 = $1,200 minimum needed.

Does each recurring investment create a new position or add to my existing one?

Yes.

Each monthly execution opens a new position, which appears separately in your portfolio.
