Our take
Titan is an investment management platform designed to help everyday investors, particularly millennials, manage their portfolios with ease and lower capital requirements. The company offers a unique approach to investing by providing access to sophisticated investment strategies traditionally reserved for large investors.
The platform works by analyzing the holdings of large hedge funds and selecting the top 20 stocks based on their performance. Titan then invests users' funds in fractional shares of these stocks, allowing for a diversified portfolio with a starting investment as low as $1,000.
While comparisons to Robinhood are often made, Titan sets itself apart by offering access to both individual stocks and professionally managed portfolios. Beyond just trading, Titan also provides valuable market insights in the form of reports, videos, and notifications, helping users make informed decisions. With millennials increasingly seeking alternatives to traditional financial institutions, Titan's platform has gained significant traction, now managing over $750M in assets.
