Stackr is the first of its kind and at the forefront of intelligent investing.

BENEFITS OF
USING Stackr
CONTROL AND FLEXIBILITY
Unlike traditional solutions, Stackr gives clients total flexibility and control. There are no strict rules such as enforced monthly deposits, instead you can save whatever and whenever you can afford to. With the increasing cost of living and unexpected one-off expenses such as replacing a broken washing machine, having the ability to take a month or 2 off saving whenever you need, can be very convenient.
INTELLIGENT INVESTMENTS
Stackr clients can invest in innovative investment solutions that have varying risk profiles, which are designed with an emphasis on delivering long-term sustainable results and capital loss mitigation at their core. Capital asset choices allow investors exposure to global markets, with a machine learning driven risk management approach facilitating adaptive long-term exposure with the view to minimizing loss of capital.
US$ INVESTMENTS AND DIVERSITY OF GEOPOLITICAL RISK
Stackr clients will invest in hard currency no matter where they earn their salary. It also allows investment away from the country of origin in case of potential economic and geopolitical concerns.
LOWER FEES
Stackr has removed the unnecessary fees that traditional institutions charge. Lower fees mean more available money to compound over time giving investors a better chance to reach their goals.
POTENTIAL TAX DEFERAL
In many jurisdictions, moving assets between digital and capital assets can trigger unnecessary taxable events. Stackr can be isolated from such events due to the trust structure, which means that it is only when you really need your money, and remove it from the trust that you might pay any tax.
ESTATE PLANNING
Stackr allows you to designate beneficiaries to receive your assets without going through a possibly lengthy and expensive probate process and estate taxes.
