Our take
An increase in access to mobile investment applications has provided opportunities for young people to invest in their future, but beginning this process and finding funds to do so can be intimidating. This is due to things like monthly fees, minimum investment values, and having to purchase whole shares.
Stockpile provides a mobile brokerage platform that focuses on facilitating the purchasing of fractional shares without the limitations and monthly fees of traditional brokers. Custodial accounts can also be made to introduce children to investment, and beginner tutorials are provided to make the first steps to investment less intimidating.
Whilst several other investment platforms are aiming to tackle the financial obstacles of beginner investment through facilitating fractional shares, Stockpile has taken further steps by making the introduction to investing easier, friendlier, and more understandable. In line with this, Stockpile acquired Investables, which enables it to start offering alternative assets (and expert advice to go with this) to its users.
