Modern fintech apps offer many features, services and conveniences that allow us to invest our money 24/7, anytime we want. Also, our choices of investment possibilities have grown significantly over the last few years. We have access to world-class diversified funds on mobile fintech apps that we never had before.
The downside is that these digital mobile apps are generic and offer generalised financial advice and features. It works if you are knowledgeable about funds and investments, but the everyday man on the street is not an investment expert.
Traditional financial advisors have the expertise and investing experience to help you choose the correct funds for your financial circumstances and financial goals. Nothing beats personal service, knowing that your wealth advisor is there through every step of your personal finance journey advising on the best way to invest and grow your money.
Combining the old (financial services) like deVere, and new digital app technology (Fintech) like Catalyst, is the best way to take advantage of modern fintech mobile apps. You get the convenience of investing from your mobile, backed by solid financial expertise.
It is ideal to have a solid investment foundation with a reputable financial advisory like deVere, and then supplement your wealth with savings and investment apps.
Chat with your wealth consultant to help you choose the best fintech investment app for your financial situation.
