“Most would agree that one hundred different $20 investments are less risky than one $2,000 investment. However, in order to facilitate these investments across a number of different asset classes, the baseline cost of investing needed to first be driven down by technology and self-service. It is this great technological achievement that has paved the way for micro and fractional

investing to become an economic reality.” - Blaine Mclaughlin, COO of

VIA Folio

Let’s Address the Recent Industry Turmoil


FinTech is Not A Passing Fad


The Recent Turmoil is Exactly What Progress is Supposed to Look Like!


New Leadership is Emerging

“New leaders will rise. Some unexpected frontrunners will fall. The businesses that will best be able to oblige the retail customer, adapt to these regulatory changes, and penetrate retail’s $14+ trillion retirement capital will prevail. But of all of the victors in this new democratized investing landscape, by far the greatest winners of all will be the American people.”
