\u2728 <\/strong>Our favorite number of the year \u2728<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s kickstart this Bondora recap with our favorite statistic from 2023. The total number of Go & Grow investors grew by 26.9%. <\/strong>More and more people choose effortless investing to get the most out of their money.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unleashing simple hands-off investing <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At the start of 2023, we said goodbye to Portfolio Pro and Portfolio Manager<\/strong> and shifted our focus<\/a> to take Go & Grow to the next level of swift, passive investing. Which leads us to\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n

Since 2020, hosting a video Q&A with P\u00e4rtel Tomberg, our CEO and Founder, has become a popular tradition.
