THE LANG CAT’S 2016 GUIDE TO DIRECT PLATFORM INVESTING
We know there are a few other things going on right now, but we’re British (at the time of writing anyway) so we’ll just crack on. And that means unleashing our third annual lang cat guide to direct platform investing.
The third album can be tricky, but we’ve got it sorted with a careful balance of:
- robo-humour!
- cat pictures!
- the occasional snippet of market analysis!
- and platforms! We definitely mention them somewhere.
WE PROMISE NOT TO BANG ON ABOUT #BREXIT
And we will stick to this promise (unlike either side of the campaign), if for no other reason that we had pretty much tucked the Guide up in bed before the result hit.
This year we are all about robo-advice. It’s been sneaking up for a while and is now dominating a lot of industry attention (if not actual business). We cover what you need to know about robo, how the newcomers fit into the existing direct investment market and what that might mean for you as an investor. We’ll also take a look at how platforms charge and what they charge for.
And if that isn’t enough, we celebrate those platforms who deserve a gold star and call out those in need of a hard stare in the third annual lang cat direct platform awards.
OH, GO ON THEN!
