YOU provides you with the ability to build a personalized portfolio that reflects who you are at less cost than many other financial instruments. You are able to browse for free our extensive database of research, data and information that has been turned into indices on which you can invest. Don’t know what an index is? Not a problem. We’re redefining it anyway! We get research from NGOs, academics, publications (mainstream, niche and investment world publications), faith-based organizations, labor unions, blogs, experts and many more. We take all this content, calculate its performance and optimize it to become something that you can add to your portfolio and, with the comfort of seeing how it is performing relative to the experts and others, determine if it is the investment for you.

Through the use of color coding, simple graphs and an easy to use interface, even those who have not ever invested before can confidently build a portfolio. Our tutorial explains how to use the system. It’s just a matter of exploring all the research that is out there (yes we welcome it from anywhere in the world!) until you find the issues, ideas, principles and people that matter the most to you. If you’re unsure what to use, we suggest you join our Facebook group where others can help you so that you feel confident you’ve made the decisions that are right for you. It is also a place where you can share ideas and suggestions. This is about YOU after all. If you are unsure about starting from scratch, you can upload your current portfolio and then add to that or screen something out, as you would like. We encourage you to build and track practice portfolios until you are comfortable that you’ve found the right one.

YOU allows you to build the most personalized portfolio possible. We invite you to experiment with finding the perfect portfolio for you, as well as how to achieve an alpha that fits your strategy. Here you will be able to discover a new level of customization and personalization when it comes to investing.
