Our take
Money shapes every part of life. Yet most people never get the support they need: Half of Brits reach retirement age without enough to live the the life they want, financial stress is a leading cause of poor mental health, only 8% of people have access to 1-to-1 financial advice. There's no shortage of information and what people actually need is clarity, guidance and a plan that makes sense to them.
That's where Octopus Money comes in. They bring together financial planning, investment expertise and smart technology so people can understand their options and take action with confidence.
They help build a clear plan for their savings, investments and pensions and make investing simple with managed portfolios built by experts. On top of this, they also support employers who want their teams to feel more secure and comfortable. So while some people may need regulated advice, others coaching, or both, their service adapts to every use case.
