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. Investars is
working to partner with as many brokers as possible to provide choices for our users. As well, we strive to
provide our users with the best pricing possible with brokers and we encourage you to consider what each one
offers and select the best one for you. In being able to choose between brokers, and through enjoying the special
price points we work to establish with many, investing in a YOU may be more cost effective than other financial
instruments. Our internal payment model is unique, catering to the needs of each provider and often, in the end,
allowing you to support through our system the issues and organizations that you care about.
We are working hard to create a site that best enables our users to achieve their unique personal and professional
goals. As one content provider put it, “you’ve really created a win-win product.” This means a great deal to us and
during our beta phase, we want to stay focused on the important work at hand of building an investment platform that
provides the best research, prices and community possible. Thus, during our beta phase, users are able to familiarize
themselves with the system by using free indices. Users will only pay when they invest with a broker on our site.
Through relationships with the content providers and these brokers, compensation occurs according to various packages
that each selects based on what is best for them. We are working to integrate with as many brokers as possible. If your
broker is not on our site, please feel free to alert your broker of this opportunity or let us know!
Financial advisors and portfolio managers will be able to build closer relationships and more personalized
portfolios for clients. Financial advisors and portfolio managers are able to access for free our extensive
database of research, data and information that has been turned into indices. These indices can be used to
assess the costs and benefits of eliminating certain lists for clients (whether an individual or a pension fund),
track these costs and confidently make decisions with regards to clients’ accounts. This will permit closer
relationships and better service. As well, it will permit you to deliver a higher quality of service for less cost.
The system is designed for you to build an account for each client, where you can track indices and portfolios
for clients prior to investing. Through clear graphs and color coding, you will be able to determine the appropriate
risk level based on the needs and interests of your clients. As well, being able to choose which broker to use will
allow you to provide for your clients the most competitive pricing available.
You are able to upload existing portfolios and continue working with your current broker, or compare your current
service with other brokers based on our competitive pricing. The fee structures we contractually secure with brokers
may be better than what you currently use. Most importantly, you will be able to provide a far superior level of
service to your clients, proactively building portfolios that take who they are into consideration. Whether it is a
foundation that has long considered investing based on their mandate but didn’t know how or didn’t believe it was
affordable, or an individual who has always wished to be sure certain issues were part of how he or she invested, using
YOU will make your work uniquely valuable.
