Neo Financial unlocks private wealth management for all Canadians
Neo Financial announced that they are expanding their product line from spending, savings, and rewards, to reimagining investing with the addition of Neo Invest. Neo Invest will offer Canadians the first fully digital, actively managed investment experience that provides access to sophisticated investment solutions that the average retail investor would not typically have access to.
“We’re launching Neo Invest to democratize investing for all Canadians with a product that is simple to use and provides access to sophisticated investment solutions that most wealth managers don’t offer”
With many Canadians reported to not have enough savings to live comfortably throughout their retirement, creating opportunities for individuals to grow their wealth that are simple and accessible has become increasingly desirable. Neo Invest provides access to private wealth management, starting with as little as a $1 investment. Banks and wealth management services in Canada often require individuals to have a net worth greater than $1M for these services, even though in 2019 the median annual income of Canadians was $37,800.

“We’re launching Neo Invest to democratize investing for all Canadians with a product that is simple to use and provides access to sophisticated investment solutions that most wealth managers don’t offer,” says Andrew Chau, Co-Founder and CEO of Neo Financial. “Historically, Canadians only have the option to invest through antiquated big bank products like mutual funds with high and hidden fees, online robo advisors offering basic products that only match the market and its volatility, and expensive private wealth managers that are not accessible to the average investor. With Neo Invest, we’re unlocking better investment opportunities and making investing possible for everyone.”
