I like that I can secure (in most cases) minority stakes in big brands. This is very flexible. Read more Read less

    Great Online sharing platform for beginners.

    Great Online sharing platform for beginners. Would help if in the future introduce SHORTING of shares since it is only LONG/Buy option available. Good communication with the Team.
