You deserve a smarter way to invest.

Picking from thousands of stocks or funds is hard.
Finding an investment manager can be even harder.
We’ve built a smarter way for you to find managers you can invest with.

  • I don't have time to choose

    We carefully screen a broad universe of managers and verify their performance so you don't have to, and just present you with a refined selection.

  • I don’t want average

    Covestor searches for emerging and other smaller established managers who are nimble and focus on capitalizing on market opportunities while riding through market downturns.

  • We want a diverse investing team

    The portfolio managers on Covestor come from diverse backgrounds; from major Wall Street firms to academics and quantitative sciences. Our internal advisors work with you to find appropriate managers based on your goals and objectives.

  • I want to know where my money is and why

    Your Covestor account is a separately managed account with one simple fee, low trade costs, full liquidity and transparency. We give you access to all the content that your portfolio managers create, including monthly commentary, position rationale and market outlooks in addition to being able to review your trades in real-time.

Covestor was founded on the idea that emerging investment managers and smaller established managers can perform better than their counterparts at larger funds and deliver unique investment strategies that can help investors regardless of market direction.

“Covestor helps me reach a retail market and lets me focus on my investing strategy.”
- Charles Sizemore, Sizemore Capital Management
Covestor has established the first online marketplace for Emerging and Alternative Investment Managers to reach a broad market of both retail and institutional investors.

Covestor was founded on the idea that emerging investment managers and smaller established managers can perform better than their counterparts at larger funds and deliver unique investment strategies that can help investors regardless of market direction.

Covestor let's you focus on what you do best – investment management – and we do the rest.
We help you:

  • Reach.  Covestor reaches over 50,000 prospective investors across the U.S. each month, including family offices and endowments.
  • Build.  We help you establish a publishable track record and create an online and social presence to tell your story to attract assets.
  • Promote.  We leverage our social media, public relations, and online capabilities to help you establish your brand and grow your business. In the past year alone, Covestor has generated over $50m in publicity for the managers on our platform.
How does Covestor attract clients?

We have created an effective system to market investment managers’ investment models. Our channels include:

  • Content Generation.  We write articles, blog posts and investing guides promoting managers’ investment model strategies, which draw qualified leads to our website and to the managers’ investment models;
  • Content Distribution.  We distribute content through partnerships with major media outlets such as MarketWatch, TheStreet.com, Google and Yahoo!Finance in addition to Covestor’s own blog and publication Smarter Investing;
  • Advertising.  Covestor promotes selected investment models through paid advertising on financial sites.

There are no costs to be on the platform. If a client decides to invest in your investment model, we share a portion of the management fee with you. We handle all the account opening, back office and client service work, freeing you to simply manage your investment model.
