Investment Nerd is an independent investment advisory service founded by Kevin Niklas Risnyj, a former IT professional who helps IT workers and software developers make better use of their income and build long-term wealth. Its approach emphasizes clear explanations, data-informed decisions and portfolios tailored to each client’s circumstances and goals, with analysis guided by the standards of DIN 77230. The service is not based on selling financial products, insurance or bundled packages.

Investment Nerd supports both beginners and people who already hold investments such as ETFs, shares, funds or cryptocurrency. Advice can include reviewing income, expenses and potential savings; identifying investment costs; considering relevant tax options, subsidies and grants; and structuring investments for long-term growth. Clients begin with a free online assessment, followed by an analysis of their financial situation and possible next steps. If they choose to proceed, Kevin can support them in building an investment structure they understand. Based in Remscheid, the business also works digitally, offering flexibility for clients who prefer remote collaboration.
