“What a difference a year makes.”

We brought the company together for our biannual Mission Day, to look at what we achieved and what the focus will be for the coming months. 

We moved from brokerage to banking with a new app, shipped over a million cards in the first 5 months, and started rolling out our own Trade Republic IBAN.

Our focus for the next months will be to double down on our banking and wealth offering, combined with leading customer service.

Are ETF savings plans better than pension funds for retirement? Trade Republic presents key insights on pension planning in Italy.

On June 19th, our Regional Manager Italy, Emanuele Agueci, hosted 22 journalists at the Grand Hotel Et de Milan to present the study conducted by Professors Michele Raitano and Marco di Pietro from La Sapienza University of Rome.

Key Findings:
- Performance of ETFs: Over the past 20 years, ETFs have outperformed the average pension fund by 43% per year.
- Public Sentiment on Pensions: 74% of Italians experience negative emotions (sadness, uncertainty, despair) when thinking about their pensions.
- Need for Supplementation: 97% of Italians believe it is necessary to complement their public pension.

These findings underline the importance of informed financial planning to secure a stable retirement. The study was covered already by 28 media outlets, incl. La Repubblica, Corriere della Sera, Il Sole 24 Ore, Avvenire, and Il Resto del Carlino.

Scaling Product Technology at Trade Republic.

Max Fischer, our Director of Engineering, joined the stage at Amazon Web Services (AWS) Summit and shared insights into how we have transformed our operating model and technology responsibilities over the past few years. 

📍Key takeaways: 

1. Developer attention is our most important resource. We designed our operating model with builder focus and reduced communication overload.

2. Frugality: spend on what matters. With allocating our resources on building rather than buying, we are assertive that we can craft the most adaptable and scalable operating system for wealth accumulation in Europe, if not the world.

3. Create a culture of ownership and accountability, where each team acts as a startup on its own with full responsibility for the roadmap and lifecycle of their services. 

Bottom line: we are a tech company with a true builder mentality. And this mindset is displayed in our organizational structure as well as how we work on a daily basis.
