What is the eToro Popular Investor Program?
The eToro Popular Investor Program is designed for traders who share their investment strategies with the wider eToro community through the platform’s CopyTraderTM feature. The program rewards investors whose portfolios attract copiers, providing access to financial incentives, exclusive benefits, and increased visibility within the eToro ecosystem.
Successful investors can expand their reach on the platform by building a public track record and engaging with the eToro community. The program is designed to reward responsible trading, consistent performance, and effective risk management, while giving copiers access to experienced market participants.
eToro works closely with Popular Investors and provides additional benefits to those who meet the program's requirements. Whether you are looking to grow your audience, earn additional income, or establish a long-term presence on the platform, understanding how the Popular Investor Program works is the first step toward qualifying for its various tiers and rewards.

Amounts of Payments And Requirements for AUM
Popular Investors can earn rewards based on their tier within the program and the amount of assets under copy (AUC) they attract. AUC represents the total value of funds allocated by users who copy a Popular Investor's portfolio. As investors progress through the program, they may qualify for higher compensation levels and additional benefits.
Monthly rewards are generally linked to average AUC and compliance with the program's requirements. The table below outlines the current compensation structure and minimum eligibility thresholds for each Popular Investor tier.
Average monthly AUC and equity are calculated using daily closing values throughout the month. Eligibility for rewards and tier progression depends on maintaining the required criteria on an ongoing basis.

| Monthly Payment | $500 | 1.5%Annual | 1.5%Annual | |
| Min Average Monthly AUC | 1 copier | $50K | $500K | $10M |
| Mon Average Monthly Equity | $1000 | $5000 | $25,000 | $50,000 |
How often do investors receive payments?
Popular Investors who qualify for rewards typically receive payments on a monthly basis, subject to eToro's current program terms and conditions.
Rewards are credited directly to the investor's eToro account.
Failure to meet program requirements, including risk-management standards, equity thresholds, or community guidelines, may result in reduced benefits, tier downgrades, or loss of eligibility for payments.
