ABOUT US
We are on a mission to help our users invest better: Meaning… to be in control and generate consistent financial returns alongside positive climate impact.
Brokers focus on getting clients to trade to drive revenue. They show little interest in helping you manage your portfolio over the long run so that you can reach your investment objectives. We are laser-focused to close this gap left by your broker. Our feature tour shows how.
Ziggma is also about climate change. The World Bank estimates that $90T in investments is need to reduce global emissions by 50% by 2030, and ultimately keep the rise in temperature to below 2°C. Total investment towards the transition is estimated at just over $1T in 2022 (Source: Bloomberg NEF). We believe private shareholders can play a big role to close this gap. After all, 78% of all private investors and 88% of millennials (Source: Morgan Stanley) wish to invest with a positive impact on the climate. This 50-second clip provides an overview of Ziggma’s climate impact investing solution. Our manifesto provides additional context.
The demand by self-directed investors for better tools to manage their portfolios is substantial. 20,000+ investors have signed up absent any marketing or advertising. Thousands have linked their brokerage accounts and 401(K)s to track investments worth well over $1 Billion on Ziggma. The time for technology to disrupt legacy personal investing and wealth building solutions has arrived.
