Titan is a mobile investing app built like a hedge fund, without the high fees or requirements of a traditional fund. The founding team has deep expertise in the industry and was frustrated that everyday investors were left behind.

Would highly recommend trying Titan out.

Pros:

Solid investment management strategy, Beautiful UI, Responsive Team, Low fees

Cons:

Slightly limited feature set to start, but all of the functionality you 'need' is there today.

I've been fortunate to have been able to use Titan for the past couple months and I love it. They have a simple, understandable investment strategy (mirror the investments of the most proven and successful hedge funds) combined with a deep-rooted passion for delivering an incredible user experience. I would highly recommend trying Titan out.

Beautiful app! I've used Digit, Stash, Betterment, Acorns and Motif and this ranks up there with one of the cleanest UIs. Just went through the onboarding flow and was impressed by how effortless it was. Curious, can you link multiple bank accounts to your Titan account? FWIW, once you link a bank account in the app it's unclear how to change or modify that linked account. Best of luck, makers.
Clayton Gardner
@dannygreer thanks for the kind words! We'll have the functionality for multiple bank account linking shortly :) if you'd like to change/modify your linked account in the meantime, you can shoot us a shoot at support@titanvest.com and we'll get it taken care of straight away!

@cgardn20 @percoco @mbernardy Any plans to support additional VISA types? Feeling no love here on my O-1 VISA. ๐Ÿ˜ฟ

@percoco @mbernardy @jamesslock Hey James, yes we're looking into supporting the O-1 VISA type. Would love to have you in the community if/when we can support it!

Hey makers, What makes this different, or better even, than something like Wealthfront or TDAmeritrade investing platforms?

@jacqvon I'd love to hear @cgardn20 's thoughts! @virtualclay

@jacqvon Hi there! Titan is an active investment manager -- we invest your money directly into the most favored stocks owned by top long-term focused hedge fund managers. This strategy provides you with the opportunity for above-average returns, and you own actual fractional shares of stock (rather than ETFs/indexes). Titan provides you daily insights and updates on what's driving your money and why, all inside the app. It feels like your own personal hedge fund manager in your pocket. That's very different than other robo-advisors because they provide average returns and very hands-off investing ("set it and forget it"). They tend to believe only in passive investing, whereas Titan acknowledges that many folks want to invest actively and participate in the markets (vs. purely a chore to get finished). Hope that helps!

@jacqvon @cgardn20 this seems like a wonderful idea for a product, have not seen much success with the AI based investment products. A revamp of traditional investment system seems a good first step.

Which hedge funds do you base your investments on? Folks like Bridgewater and the like? What weight is placed on each HF to decide investments you make?
Clayton Gardner
@tjpatel Titan follows long-term focused, fundamental, quality-biased equity funds. Think Tiger Global, Lone Pine, etc. Our software removes funds like Bridgewater and all other macro, quantitative, pair trading, and other funds that aren't suited toward the use of public SEC filings as a proxy for their strategies. It's a "wisdom of the crowds" model -- we don't place weight on specific HFs. Instead, we look to the investments most frequently owned within the universe of funds that fit the profile I described above. What's cool about this is, we mitigate the risk of any given HF underperforming or shutting down. Check out our website to learn more! Hope to have you in the community.
Trishul Patel
@cgardn20 Very helpful thank you! How do you handle short positions?
Clayton Gardner
@tjpatel No problem. We don't short any stocks. We hedge users to different degrees (based on their risk profiles) using an inverse market ETF during periods of turbulence.
Cliff Dailey
@tjpatel @cgardn20 Downloaded the app and its definitely awesome! I'm a bit confused on one thing, you say "we don't short any stocks" but on your website it says: We then "short" (i.e. bet against) 0-20% of the market index based on your risk tolerance to give you personalized "hedged" exposure. Can you clarify this a bit more?
Clayton Gardner
@tjpatel @cliffdailey Hey Cliff, welcome to the Titan community! Great to have you onboard. We don't short any stocks at Titan. Instead, we buy an inverse S&P 500 ETF to effectively give you short exposure to the market index (when the S&P 500 falls, the inverse ETF goes up in price). That's why we say we "short" the market index. When someone literally goes "short" a stock, they are using leverage (i.e. borrowing money) which entails potentially unlimited risk (a stock could go up to infinity, costing you more than 100% losses). We don't want to ever put our users in that position of risk. Hope that clarifies things!

Is it limited to US only?
Clayton Gardner
@dionisis_koles We're currently US-only, but hoping to expand abroad in the future!

@cgardn20 Like all good things, I'm a Greek, living in Thailand. Don't think it'll be anytime soon. Best of luck to you guys. Looks great.

@dionisis_koles @cgardn20 HI, so if I am French I cannot invest on Titan? When exactly do you think it would be possible? Thx !
Clayton Gardner
Hi everyone! Iโ€™m excited to announce that we just launched Titan IRAs (retirement accounts) to help our clients maximize their retirement savings. If you would check out our launch page that would be great! https://www.producthunt.com/post...
