Expertly-managed portfolios for the modern investor
For illustration only - this is not an inducement to apply
Picking stocks is hard. Wealthy investors use professionals to actively manage their money for them. We want to bring this to you.
Invest like the 1%. We aim to offer risk-managed portfolios of equities, crypto and more.
Everybody needs a sidekick. We'll bring you direct access to the investment team and keep you updated along the way.
Please remember, investing should be viewed as longer term. When we launch, your capital will be at risk - the value of investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you put in. Cryptoassets are only regulated in the UK for money laundering purposes. If you invest in these type of assets, you are unlikely to be protected if something goes wrong.

Deposit the funds you want to invest into your Sidekick wallet. Funds will be held securely and will be easily withdrawable at any time.
Select which portfolio you want to invest funds into. On launch, we plan to offer a range of actively-managed portfolios containing a variety of assets including stocks and crypto.
We will manage your portfolio on your behalf and keep you informed about all decisions and changes we make to the portfolio.
You will be able to sell your investments at any time. Or (subject to affordability checks and credit approval), if you don’t want to dip into your long-term funds, we plan to offer a portfolio line of credit.
We’ve built a top team of investment and technology experts to build Sidekick and bring you a modern investment manager for today's changing world.
Matt is a seasoned entrepreneur, investor and repeat fintech founder. He was previously CEO and Founder of Pariti, which was sold to Tandem Bank, and was most recently Partner at Mouro Capital, a global fintech venture capital fund.
Pete is an experienced technology leader and has led teams at a number of regulated high-growth fintechs in the UK and North America. His focus is on building great customer experiences and robust, secure technology infrastructure.
Cyril is an investment professional with more than 15 years’ experience at leading asset managers, including Polar Capital and J.P.Morgan. He oversees Sidekick's investment activities, and is responsible for investment strategy, portfolio construction and performance.
Lee oversees Sidekick's compliance activities and is responsible for money laundering reporting. He has been a senior compliance leader within multiple regulated firms across a 20+ year period, including challenger banks and high growth fintechs.
Eimantas leads Sidekick's backend engineering activities. He brings deep domain knowledge having worked with and advised hedge funds and other financial companies on the performance, scalability and reliability of their platforms.
We believe everyone should have the same opportunities to build their wealth. We’re hiring for several positions - come and join us!

Not yet, but we hope to be in the near future. We've applied to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) for the required regulatory permissions and registrations to launch the product in the UK. Prior to then, none of the information provided on this website is intended as an invitation or inducement to apply for any Sidekick product or service.
As soon as we can! We're heads down building the product and hope to launch at some point in 2023 once we're granted the relevant authorisations and registrations from the FCA. In the meantime, we're trying to source as much feedback and input to the product development process as we can. If you're keen to get involved and share your perspectives as we shape the product, sign up to the waitlist below and follow the link in the email.
