Speaking about the growth, Craig Cecilio, CEO of DiversyFund stated:
“During times of heightened economic uncertainty, wealth gaps increase, so it’s no surprise that we’ve seen such interest in our investor-first, wealth-building platform. The everyday consumer is seeing the year 2020 — a time when political, social, and economic unrest is converging — as a crucial moment to build long-term wealth. The 99% are demanding access to high-quality investments and the ability to attain financial freedom.”
DiversyFund also noted that it urrently has $25 million in AUM and approximately $75 million in real estate assets under management. Cecilio added:
“Now is the time to truly democratize investing through technology. With our bolstered team and new features, we’re providing accessible financial education for all, while working towards our core mission – closing the wealth gap. Technology is at the core of equalizing investing, so we are constantly developing our capabilities to enable our community to invest like the 1%.”
