M1 Finance: https://businessandinvestingsherpa.com/m1
M1 Finance is one of my favorite investment tools because it’s FREE, it allows you to purchase partial shares of stock (so you can buy Amazon with 3 dollars instead of 3 thousand for example), and it allows you to do automatic rebalancing. With M1, you can essentially create your own Robo-Advisor and cut out all of the fees by selecting a set of low-cost index funds, setting your target percentage allocations for each fund, and turning on automatic rebalancing. If you set up auto deposits to the account each week, M1 will automatically weight the purchase of each fund back towards your targets. Plus, I think M1 is set up to help investors think long-term rather than fostering a trading mentality that you see with other apps. I have used M1 myself for many years and have no plans of stopping. One thing I have really appreciated is that when I transfer funds to M1, they are available to purchase the very next day, compared with Robinhood which takes like 5 business days, ouch. M1 is definitely unique and I love it’s features. There are plenty more I didn’t even touch on like the ability to create a portfolio line of credit at super low rates on up to 35% of your account balance and earn cash back with your own M1 checking account. To use this tool, simply click the following link: https://businessandinvesting.com/M1 . Doing so will help support the show and we would greatly appreciate it.
