Bringing you the financial products and services typically reserved for the 1%
For illustration only - this is not an inducement to apply
Picking investments is hard. Wealthy investors use professionals to actively manage their money for them. We want to bring this to you.
Stay long term invested. We aim to offer a line of credit (subject to assessment) to help cover any unexpected expenses and leave your portfolio intact.
The 1% don't just invest in stocks and bonds. We aim to offer risk-managed portfolios of wider alternatives, including crypto and more.
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.
