Set up your model portfolio

Your model portfolio is the ‘template’ that tells Passiv what you want your portfolio to look like.

This is how Passiv knows what ETFs, stocks or bonds you want - and the percentage of each.

Once your portfolio is set up, Passiv keeps your investments on track by automatically suggesting trades based on your model portfolio.

And if you have Passiv Elite, you can automatically make those trades with the click of a button!
