Review of the Lightyear, Investments:

Makes investing simple and accessible

A continually growing and transparent platform.

Lightyear has continued to grow and add useful features, They are committed to transparent pricing so you know exactly what fees they will charge before you commit to a transaction. Coupled with the fact that ETF's are fee free, and if you have uninvested cash you will still earn interest on it every month makes it a great service! Reviewed on: 6th April 2024

Mediocre at best.

Mediocre at best. Doesn’t help me drastically achieve my goals better than other platforms. Too gamified Reviewed on: 5th April 2024

A well thought out project

Just so easy to use and excellent interest rates...the only thing I would improve is lower the 0.3% currency swap rate. Reviewed on: 5th April 2024

Lightyear Layout - Discovery

I like the layout when you open the App. It gives your tot portfolio performance, cash deposits, investment total and each stock current overall performance. You can go into a stock get metrics, analyst ratings, upcoming dividend payments, news about the company and a direct link to the company if you want to do your homework on the company. You can enter the discover part to find new stock, ETFs and has a wide range around the world the world. I also like being paid interest on my deposits I hold in their currency.
