Navy Federal Financial Group (NFFG) is working with Folio Investing to power two new, innovative investing services: a unique self-directed, online investing platform for individual investors and a cutting-edge robo advisor. These will broaden NFFG’s suite of services and meet the needs of budding investors, millennials and more established investors.
“Our new services will bring accessibility, education and efficiency to the investing process, and provide more people with comprehensive investment solutions,” explains Patricia Wood, chief operating officer of NFFG.
“We are pleased to work with Navy Federal in providing investors with innovative and easy-to-use investing products,” said Peter Jacobstein, Folio Investing senior vice president. “Navy Federal has a long history of dedication to serving its members.”
NFFG’s online investing platform is designed to help new investors through user-friendly design and educational, interactive tutorials. NFFG customers will be able to research investment options and buy individual stocks and ETFs. The intuitive, straightforward platform will meet investors’ unique needs and offer trading for a low, monthly fee.
NFFG’s robo advisor service will provide investors with unique portfolio customization and tax management tools. “As clients increase their asset size, we will give them the option to further the growth of their investments through this tool,” says Wood. The company’s financial advisors will also be available for individuals to use a combination of automated and personal advice.
Both NFFG and Folio Investing are committed to helping clients meet a wide range of financial goals. These new services will become available in 2017.
