Trading and investment platform, eToro has expanded its services in France as it partners with French life insurance provider, Generali, to offer its users in France a life insurance contract and a PER (Plan d’Épargne Retraite).
This move has been made possible following eToro‘s local subsidiary launch in France: eToro Patrimoine. The partnership with Generali marks a step forward for eToro as it looks to provide access to long-term savings propositions for its users in France. It builds on eToro’s European expansion in 2024 in which it enabled trading in local currency for eToro Money EUR accounts.
Additionally, eToro expanded its offering of French-listed stocks from Euronext Paris, providing its users access to the vast majority of the companies listed on this exchange. French users also benefit from a French IBAN, ensuring a service tailored to their local needs
PER and life insurance
The PER and life insurance contract offered by eToro Patrimoine is designed to cater to a wide range of retail investor preferences and risk appetites, offering both managed and self-directed options, developed in partnership with Generali.
For both the PER and the life insurance contracts, eToro users can choose from managed portfolios with different investment risk preferences, from more conservative to more dynamic. Additionally, investors have the option to build their own allocation by selecting euro funds and unit-linked products, among a list of over 500 choices, including mutual funds, ETFs, stocks, and dated bond funds.
Julien Nebenzahl, president of eToro Patrimoine
Julien Nebenzahl, president of eToro Patrimoine, said: “Introducing saving solutions for eToro’s users in France and opening a local subsidiary underscore our commitment to strengthen our footprint in a key market for the business. With these new products, we want to empower retail investors to build a robust savings portfolio that allows them to grow their wealth for the long-term. We are excited to provide them in partnership with Generali, a major player in the French life insurance market.”

Corentin Favennec, partnerships director at Generali Patrimoine, commented: “We are delighted to support eToro, a globally recognised investment player, in the launch of its subsidiary in France and its savings offering. Our 100 per cent digital PER and life insurance products, which complement each other, perfectly fit into eToro’s value proposition to serve the wealth management needs of the French people.”
