Why We're Free

Recently, we made the audacious decision to offer our investment management services for free. 

Why? For the millions of Americans who have not yet had the opportunity to build a substantial savings fund, every dollar paid in fees is a dollar lost to the power of compounding. This is what most investment apps and services want people to ignore: just like interest, fees compound exponentially over the years. 

These apps and services charge seemingly innocuous amounts, usually less than $10/month or a very low percentage of assets under management, hoping you’ll consider this negligible enough to proceed. Or, they might even purposely keep a good portion of your money in cash and lend it out to earn interest for themselves without paying you in turn, meaning that less of your money is invested for growth. When you do the math, you’ll quickly realize that a few dollars paid in fees in a year quickly turn into hundreds if not thousands in lost opportunity over the course of a decade. And if you’re just starting out in your saving and investing journey, this makes a huge difference.

Here’s a breakdown of how much you stand to lose to fees, even for fees as little as $3/month:

Since we’re on a mission to break down the walls on Wall Street, we want to make sure that you keep as much of your money as possible so it can grow as much as possible. How can we offer such carefully calculated and curated portfolios, driven by data and math to optimize for your particular investor profile, for free? We don’t start charging until your account reaches $100,000 to give you time to build a solid financial foundation. And even then, we are far more accessible than other entities that use similar strategies, such as hedge funds. Essentially, we’re offering the investment strategies of the Wall Street elite for a fraction of the time and money.

Because smart investing shouldn’t be limited to Wall Street.
