Save, an SEC-registered investment adviser, expects the return potential of its Market Savings program to be higher than traditional high-yield interest savings accounts. Customers can expect average annual return potential between 1.50% to 7.70% depending on the program term, without risk to customer deposits.2 The Market Savings program seeks to provide returns to customers through an investment by Save into a diversified portfolio of ETFs representing stocks, bonds, real estate, and commodities based on the customer’s investment profile. The yield is not guaranteed but will vary according to market performance. Customers’ deposits will be held in savings accounts at Webster Bank that are FDIC insured up to the standard maximum deposit insurance amount, which is currently $250,000 per depositor, per FDIC-insured bank, per ownership category. Save expects to add a range of investment portfolios including sustainable investments and alternative asset portfolios.
“We’re excited to work with Webster Bank to build an entirely new approach to savings,” said Michael Nelskyla, Founder and CEO of Save. “By adding the Market Savings program to our platform, we’re able to better support our customers’ financial and savings goals at a time when low rates, high inflation, and market volatility are top of mind.”
