INVIOS is derived from the English word “inviolable”. That is precisely our ambition: to protect and grow your wealth through a clear, disciplined investment approach.
As an independent institute for wealth preservation and asset management based in Hamburg, we combine active asset management with insights from neurofinance — helping to avoid the mistakes that statistically cost investors the most in returns. With the INVIOS Wealth Accumulation Fund, you invest globally diversified, rule-based, and with clear risk management.
Why do even experienced investors repeatedly make poor decisions? This is the question explored in the current cover interview of the Pioneer Morning Briefing. Speaking with editor Philipp Heinrich, INVIOS Managing Director Nikolas Kreuz explains why our brains often work against us when investing — and how typical cognitive biases can be avoided. One of his key insights: “Our brain was developed to survive — not to invest successfully.” From a neurofinance perspective, Nikolas Kreuz explains the seven most common mistakes that cost investors returns — from overconfidence and herd mentality to excessive trading and inertia. At the same time, he shows why a structured investment process and control over one’s emotions are crucial for long-term investment success.

Around 80% of all investment mistakes are psychological in nature — fear, overconfidence, and a false sense of security. Neurofinance makes these mental traps visible and shows where emotions typically distort decisions. Those who understand the underlying mechanisms can systematically limit their impact — turning gut feeling into a clear, rational strategy.
The mind behind INVIOS is Nikolas Kreuz, a business graduate, founder, and managing director.
