Online broker Motif Investing if offering a unique approach to investing that allows customers to buy so called “motifs,” which contain up to 30 different stocks that share the same subject. This is very similar to what major hedge funds are doing, and with Motif, everyone can participate.
As CNBC has put it, with Motif you get to “pick things that you know and understand, how you feel about the world around you and come up a stock plan that fits…”
There are more than 150 professionally-built motifs that include such themes as:
Clean Energy Obamacare Wall Street Too Big to Fail Battling Cancer Pet Passion Recent IPOs Income Inequality World of Sports Water Shortage Dr. Copper | Energy Takeout Targets Precious Metals Shale Oil Frack Attack Biotech Breakthroughs High-Yield Dividends Precious Metals Online Gaming World Cyber Security Private Equity Dividend Stars |
Plus, there are over 75,000 motifs created by individual investors like you and me. And if that’s not enough, you can create your very own motif!
Beyond investing, the service allows users to connect with each other, and discuss various motifs and individual stocks. Also, you can use your Facebook account to find friends who’ve invested with Motif and include them in your Motif circle.
Motif charges $9.95 for portfolio trading or $4.95 for stock trading, which isn’t that much considering that you get a “taste of the IPO” in return — among other things — according to The Wall Street Journal.
Additionally, for a low monthly subscription, you can easily automate your trading in as many accounts and portfolios as you want. There are no hidden fees, no management costs, and no one-size-fits-all investment models.
You get to track your investments both on the web and from a mobile app. Get relevant news , smart trading alerts, and detailed performance reports to stay on top of your positions. Motif gives you the analytical tools to track your progress towards your investing goals and make informed investment decisions.
In a conclusion, I would say that there is a reason Big Boys like Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase have put their own money into Motif. It’s that good and it can work for you, too — again, without requiring any crazy fees. Open a free account today!
