In 2021, investors piled $1tn into Exchange Traded Funds as global assets reached $10tn for the first time.

Offering instant diversification, broad investment choice and low-fees, ETFs can make an excellent choice for investors and yet, only 15% of European retail investors invest in ETFs compared to 40% in the US.

Combined with the increasing interest in investing and ETF media popularity, we believe that there is a wave of untapped investors poised to join this segment of the market.

We’ve built a platform that gives investors the ability to construct their optimal ETF portfolio and automate their wealth generation. Fractional ETF investing and innovative look-through features enable complete control over how much you invest and where, whilst our smart portfolio top-ups, auto-invest and one-click rebalancing tools save you time and money as you grow your wealth.

Featuring hundreds of the markets’ leading ETFs from the likes of Vanguard and iShares, investors can build their own portfolios with zero InvestEngine fees or rely on InvestEngine’s expert managed portfolios for just 0.25% p.a.

Since launching our platform in July 2021, we’ve seen 30% monthly growth in active customers trusting us with over £30m. Targeting the UK’s £1.5trn wealth management industry, we're now raising investment to supercharge our growth and build a large community of like-minded ETF investors.
