Adrian Schimpf
Even as a teenager, I found it fascinating how you can make your money work for you.
Over the years, I have acquired a broad financial knowledge and have optimized my own finances as best as possible according to my risk profile.
In doing so, I stick to a few basic rules.
With Smolio, I would like to bring these financial principles closer to all interested parties and thus help everyone to make more of their money.
And who knows, maybe this will even lead to a fairer distribution of wealth.
Adrian has a Bachelor ‘ s degree in Business Administration from ZHAW and a Master’s degree in Human Computer Interaction Design from HSR.
Dr. Thomas Walke
I have been saving, investing, winning and losing money since I was at school.
Asian crisis in 1997, dotcom bubble in 2000, financial crisis in 2008, commodity bubble in 2014.
Thanks to fund and ETF savings plans, risk diversification and discipline, I came through it all stronger.
Constantly learning and improving also applies to the capital market.
I have written down the lessons I have learned so that I don’t make the same mistake twice.
Unfortunately, the only thing I’ve learned from advisors is that they want to sell me products.
That’s why I’ve been managing my own finances for a long time now.
I’m happy to share with you the wealth of experience I’ve gained over almost 30 years as a private investor in all asset classes and from two social security systems, as well as relevant innovations in the financial and pension sector.
This, your interest in dealing with your finances and a long-term horizon make it possible for you to take your finances into your own hands and thus build up an additional income.
Thomas studied controlling, banking and capital market theory and completed his doctorate in business informatics at RWTH Aachen University.

Dr. Sarah Seyr
As a psychologist, I want to understand why people keep putting off financial decisions.
My next step is to help them overcome the hurdles and avoid falling into the psychological traps.
Sarah has a doctorate in psychology from ETH Zurich.
