Our take
Currently, retail investors can either settle for passive investment portfolios, or they can attempt to time the market and make investments without access to sophisticated training or tools to do so effectively.
Sidekick Money offers an alternative, building a modern app-based investment service that works to close the generational wealth gap by offering products and services that are usually reserved for only high-net-worth individuals.
Recent funding has been invested into building out the app-based products and expanding the in-house asset management team whilst it waits full regulatory approval. Once up and running, it will focus on the UK market for a few years before expanding its reach into international markets.
