“Currently, retail investors are stifled by the lack of tools that speak the same language at the level they can comprehend. Vast amount of data that is available creates more confusion and does not provide enough actionable information or insight to investors. FinBuddy addresses this gap by providing very easy-to-understand tools that don’t scare investors but engage them without losing depth and rigor.
