Features of our platform

 
Marstone risk tolerance

Flexible, Personalized Portfolios

Smart investing isn’t one size fits all, so we allow end investors to build a personalized portfolio based on their own goals, beliefs, and interests. After investors are guided through a few simple questions, our algorithms gauge their timing and risk tolerance to create an appropriate portfolio. Individual portfolios are then built and presented using our curated selection of exchange-traded funds, your own institution’s models, or models offered by our partners including BlackRock.


Marstone Account Aggregation Dashboard

The Complete Financial Picture

Investments are typically just one piece of an end investor’s overall financial picture. We offer aggregation tools to link accounts held outside of Powered by Marstone, displaying everything in a unified and customizable dashboard. Our personalization tools offer customers an unprecedented level of control over their online experience, helping them learn and grow their financial understanding.
