SoFi Invest members will now be able to invest
in mutual funds and money market funds as well as select
alternative investments
SoFi (NASDAQ: SOFI), the all-in-one digital personal finance
company, announced today that SoFi Invest members will now be able
to invest in select alternative investment funds, mutual funds, and
money market funds. With the launch of alternative investments,
SoFi is granting everyday investors access to the power to build
and protect their wealth through investment opportunities
traditionally reserved for the ultra wealthy.
Initially, SoFi will offer over 6,000 different mutual funds to
members on the SoFi Invest platform, as well as access to invest in
the ARK Venture Fund, Carlyle Tactical Credit Fund (CTAC), KKR
Credit Opportunities Portfolio (KCOP), as well as Franklin
Templeton’s Clarion Partners Real Estate Income Fund (CPREX) and
Franklin BSP Private Credit Fund (FBSPX). These funds feature a
unique lineup of assets, including private credit, real estate and
pre-IPO companies offering a diverse mix of investing
opportunities. SoFi will roll out access to alternative
investments, mutual funds and money market funds to all SoFi Invest
members over the coming days.
“Our goal at SoFi is to empower our members to get their money
right so they can achieve financial independence. We know investing
is critical to building wealth, but many investment vehicles are
still not accessible to everyday investors,” said Anthony Noto, CEO
of SoFi. “Introducing access to alternative investments continues
our focus of offering access to investments that are usually
reserved for the ultra wealthy, and allows us to provide our
members with even more choice and flexibility when it comes to
investing their hard-earned money.”
Alternative Investments & Increasing
Accessibility
SoFi will continue to be a leader in affordable investing by
offering no SoFi transaction fees for mutual funds and no
transaction fees for the new alternatives funds for the first 60
days. After this promotional period, SoFi will offer a competitive
0.50% purchase fee for the alternatives funds with low minimum
investment.
Traditionally, alternative investments have the potential to
provide uncorrelated returns compared to traditional investments
and offer opportunities to invest in private companies and assets
with significant growth potential.1 Until recently, many investors
haven’t been able to invest in certain of these funds, which
limited their ability to diversify investments with alternatives.
SoFi Invest offers a wide range of investing tools from traditional
stocks to ETFs to robo-investing, access to IPOs, and now will
include mutual funds, money market funds, and alternatives funds
across a broad range of categories including commodities, currency
alternatives, and venture capital. SoFi is the only digital finance
app that allows its members to borrow, save, spend, invest, and
protect their money all in one place.
Educating Investors on Alts
Alongside access to alternative investments, SoFi is also
launching an educational hub to help investors better understand
these investment vehicles. The educational hub will cover topics
such as the basics of what alternative investments are, how they
work and fit into a portfolio, and be available to any investor,
not just SoFi members.
Additionally, SoFi offers all members complimentary access to
Certified Financial Planners (CFPs™) to discuss their full
financial plans and goals to ensure they are making the right moves
for their goals and needs.
