Customers can sign up for a waitlist for the Monzo Investment product, which enables them to select the risk profile which most suits them and invest as little as £1 in one of three multi-asset funds provided by BlackRock.
Users receive guidance and information throughout their effortless product journey, providing them the assurance they need to make the right decisions.
Moving forward, users will be directed to a series of screens where they may learn more about the product and select one of three funds that BlackRock has carefully chosen for them based on varying levels of risk.
The three BlackRock-managed funds are:
- Careful
- Balanced
- Adventurous
A low-risk, low-return fund is at the “careful” end of the scale, followed by a “balanced” fund with medium-high risk and reward and an “adventurous” fund that focuses on greater-risk allocations with significantly higher potential returns.
As Monzo develops into the one platform where users can manage their whole financial lives, Monzo Investments is the next chapter.
