For those who want to see what all the hype is about, we\u2019ve put together an in-depth SoFi Invest review.  What Is SoFi? SoFi is a multifaceted fintech giant, offering a wide variety of services aimed at the younger crowd, including banking, credit cards, investing, loans, and more.  For the sake of this review, we\u2019ll be diving into their SoFi Invest account.  This account allows customers to trade stocks, ETFs, and automate their investing if they choose.  SoFi At a Glance Minimum Investment\t$1 Management Fees\tFree for Self Managed Accounts, 0.25% for Automated Investing Account Fees\t$0 Trading Commissions\t$0 Account Types\tBrokerage, Traditional IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA Funding Options\t(Bank account, others?)

SoFi is similar to most of the online brokerages out there  They give customers the ability to buy and sell securities, such as stocks and ETFs, as well as cryptocurrencies.  Further down in this article, we\u2019ll show you how you can open an account and start trading.  In this section, we\u2019ll be going over some of SoFi\u2019s distinguishing features.  IPO Investing SoFi IPO   One very unique feature that SoFi has for users is the ability to invest in Initial Public Offerings (IPOs).  This is a big deal because generally retail investors don\u2019t get the chance to buy IPOs at their IPO price \u2014 this is traditionally reserved for large investment banks.  By the time a hot IPO is available for the general public, the price of the stock is usually driven up much higher than the IPO price.  Oftentimes, a stock can seem fairly valued at IPO price but considerably overvalued by the time it\u2019s available on the NYSE or NASDAQ.  In order to help the everyday retail investor, SoFi tries to get share allocations of hot IPOs and then offers those shares up to their users (at IPO price).  This allows everyday investors the chance to be a part of something traditionally reserved for the largest of institutional investors.  Instant Funding A major problem with legacy brokers is the fact that most don\u2019t allow instant access to your money when you transfer it.  Since transfers are typically done through an automated clearing house (ACH) transfer, money can take a couple of days to post to your brokerage account.  This can be a serious issue if you\u2019re looking to buy a security as soon as possible.   With SoFi Instant Funding, you can have access to your transfers instantly (as the name suggests).  Gone are the days when you have to wait for the ACH transfer to post to buy a stock.  User Experience Overall, we found that the SoFi user experience was surprisingly poor, especially when taking into consideration their lack of features.  Usually, when a brokerage has a difficult-to-use interface, there are a lot of things going on (lots of research info, investable securities, etc.).  However, in the case of SoFi, they don\u2019t have many investable securities, and they have next to no research information.  One would assume that SoFi would have an easy-to-use interface, much like Robinhood (a brokerage with similar investable securities and research info), but we found SoFi\u2019s interface to be fairly clunky and not so well put together.  Research Tools As we mentioned before, SoFi has next to no research tools available for its users.  To be fair, this isn\u2019t a make or break for most people, since most people just invest in index funds.  However, for those who are looking to do some individual stock picking, research tools are very important when looking for a brokerage.  SoFi Research Tool   A brokerage with great research tools will have analyst ratings and forecasts, news stories, upcoming corporate events, information on a company\u2019s sector, and much more.  In the case of SoFi, only some recent news stories and basic financial info (that could easily be found on Google Finance) are displayed.  Customer Support SoFi offers customers support through both phone and online chat, however, their communication lines are only open Monday through Thursday, from 5 AM PST to 5 PM PST, and Friday from 5 AM PST to 4 PM PST.  If you require assistance outside of these hours, there is a moderately helpful virtual assistant that directs you to relevant FAQs\/articles (if any).  SoFi Fees and Pricing SoFi is much like other fintech brokerages \u2013 they offer commission-free trades on stocks and ETFs. We\u2019ve put together a table below that discusses their other fees  Stock & ETF Trades\t$0 Management Fees (Self Directed)\t0% Management Fees (Robo-Advisor)\t0.25% Outgoing Account Transfer\t$75 Overall, SoFi is a fairly inexpensive brokerage to use. Their fees are very similar to that of most up-and-coming fintech brokerages of today.  SoFi Accounts SoFi offers some of the most widely used investment accounts.   They have almost everything an individual could ask for, and they even have some solutions for those who are self-employed too.  We\u2019ll break down all of their offerings below:  Brokerage Accounts A traditional brokerage account is one of the most widely used types of accounts to trade stocks.  Traditional brokerage accounts are bare-bones brokerage accounts that don\u2019t come with any sort of tax advantage.  SoFi\u2019s traditional brokerage account allows users to trade stocks, ETFs as well as cryptocurrencies.  Retirement Accounts In addition to their traditional brokerage accounts, SoFi also offers users the ability to open a Traditional or Roth IRA.  A Traditional IRA allows investors to invest pre-tax income and defer paying their owed taxes until they reach retirement age.  Whereas, Roth IRAs give investors the ability to invest post-tax income, and enjoy tax-free withdrawals when it comes time to retire.  Small Business Retirement Accounts Aside from Traditional and Roth IRAs, SoFi also gives users the option to open a SEP IRA.  A Simplified Employee Pension Plan IRA (SEP IRA) is a type of Traditional IRA that is offered by employers to employees.  This is a type of IRA that\u2019s commonly used by self-employed individuals, as the contribution limits for SEP IRAs are much higher than that of traditional or Roth IRAs.  Managed Portfolios SoFi Portfolios   Although SoFi does not offer portfolios that are managed by your own personal financial advisor, they do offer robo-advisor services.  Robo-advised accounts are quick and easy to set up \u2013 you only have to answer a few questions about your goals and your risk tolerance.  After that, your money will be invested automatically for a fairly low flat rate of 0.25%.  Bank Accounts SoFi Bank Accounts   Aside from its \u201cInvest\u201d line of business, SoFi has several other arms of the business, including insurance, lending, banking, and credit cards.  SoFi offers their customers the ability to open up a checking account that comes with some pretty great features.  Their checking account is known as \u201cSoFi Money\u201d and comes with $1.5 million dollars in FDIC insurance, as well as no ATM fees, and it also pays a small amount of interest as well!  SoFi Investment Options Overall, SoFi has a fairly limited selection of investable securities.  In the section below, we\u2019ll walk you through all of the major types of securities, and cover whether or not SoFi supports them.  Stocks SoFi Stocks  Stocks are small portions of a company that are divided up and sold to investors, big and small.  A share of a stock represents ownership of a small piece of the underlying company.   They are the backbone of the stock market, so all US brokerages support the trading of stocks, including SoFi.  With SoFi, you can trade all stocks that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange, as well as the NASDAQ without any trade commissions.  However, you are unable to trade any over-the-counter (OTC) stocks, as well as stocks listed on international exchanges using SoFi  Options Options are agreements made between two parties to purchase\/sell stock at an agreed-upon price by an agreed-upon date.  They are a fairly complex security that has gained popularity among the retail investing crowd lately.  Although they are fairly complex, options are typically supported by most brokerages.  SoFi does not support options trading as of the time this article was written.  Futures Futures are a type of security that allows investors to purchase an underlying asset (usually a commodity, such as wheat, corn, oil, etc.) at a certain price on a certain date in the future, as the name would suggest.  These are fairly advanced securities that are only offered by a handful of brokerages.  Unfortunately, SoFi does not allow its users to invest in futures at this point in time.  ETFs SoFi ETF   ETFs are essentially a basket of companies that your money is divided up amongst when purchasing a share.  They typically track indices, like the S&P 500 or the Russel 2,000 and are passively managed.  SoFi Invest does allow its users to invest in ETFs, so long as they are listed on a major US stock exchange.  Mutual Funds Mutual Funds are similar to ETFs in that they\u2019re a basket of companies bundled into one security.  However, the main areas they differ from ETFs are that they usually come with minimum investment amounts, they don\u2019t typically track indices, and they aren\u2019t sold in individual shares.  At this time, SoFi doesn\u2019t offer its users access to any mutual funds.  Bonds and CDs Bonds and CDS are a very risk-averse way to create a predictable source of interest income for investors.  Individual Bonds and CDs are securities that are typically bought by more advanced investors.  Unfortunately, SoFi Invest does not allow users to buy individual bonds and CDs, however, they can buy bond and CD-based ETFs.  Crypto SoFi Crypto    Cryptocurrencies have become increasingly popular lately.  They are a type of alternative asset born from the advent of blockchain technology.  As of the time this article is being written, SoFi Invest supports the purchase of more than 25 different cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin, and Solana.  Fractional Shares Up until very recently, only whole shares of stocks could be purchased.  This meant that if you wanted a share of Berkshire Hathaway Class A stock, you would have to fork over more than $400,000 to buy it.  Fortunately for us though, brokerages have started to allow users to purchase a small piece of stock.  This means you could buy just $1 of a stock, instead of purchasing the whole thing.  SoFi Fractional Shares  SoFi is one of the few brokerages out there that support the purchase of fractional shares.    Within their ecosystem, they refer to fractional shares as \u201cStock Bits\u201d, but they\u2019re one in the same.  Bonuses and Promotions The account bonuses are fairly lackluster when compared to other competitors within the industry.  Most other fintech brokers offer free stock for signing up, and legacy brokers tend to offer large sums of cash for bringing large portfolios to their platform.  We\u2019ve outlined all of SoFi\u2019s offers below:  SoFi Sign-Up Bonus SoFi has been known to offer traditional sign up bonuses in the past, where new customers receive cash or stock compensation for creating an account.  However, as of lately, they have been offering new customers the chance to get in on a giveaway in exchange for signing up.  This is incredibly lackluster when compared to their competitors.  SoFi Referral Bonus SoFi Referral Bonus  SoFi has been known to offer referral bonuses.  As of the time this article is being written, SoFi is offering customers $50 in stock for referring a friend.    Once your friend deposits $100 or more into their SoFi Invest account, you will receive $50, and they will receive $25.  SoFi Account Transfer Bonus At this point in time, SoFi doesn\u2019t have any account transfer bonuses, however, they will cover your outgoing account transfer fees (up to $75) when moving $5,000 or more to SoFi Invest.  Is SoFi Safe? It\u2019s completely understandable to be concerned about the safety of your hard earned money.  However, the level of regulation in the US financial space is so high that scams are few and far between when dealing with stock brokerages and banks.  For those who are still concerned, read on for more information:  Regulation As we mentioned before, the US financial space is highly regulated by the Securities and Exchanges Commission (SEC).  This ensures that all of the companies in the financial space are in good standing, and keep the safety of investors at the front of their minds.  In addition to the high level of regulation, SoFi Invest is also a member of SIPC, a federal entity that certifies brokerages, and insures deposits of up to $250,000.  Security SoFi Security  Aside from the typical username and password that are required to be entered to view your accounts, SoFi also requires a form of two-factor authentication.  This means every time you log into your SoFi account from a new browser, you\u2019ll be prompted to enter a code that\u2019s texted to you.  This is an additional layer of security that helps keep your money safe from any bad actors.  Risks At the end of the day, most of the risk investors take on when investing in the stock market can be attributed to the individual investor.    In the stock market, there are plenty of complex securities that normal investors can severely harm their financial security with.  Fortunately though, SoFi heavily restricts the securities that can be traded on their platform.  However, keep in mind, that does not mean there aren\u2019t any risks!  SoFi Pros & Cons SoFi certainly isn\u2019t a perfect brokerage, however, it works well for the niche that it caters to \u2013 beginner investors.  In order to help you understand if SoFi is the right brokerage for you, we\u2019ve put together a list of pros and cons below:  Pros  Trade Stocks and Crypto Using the Same Platform: Most people like to keep their investments simple. Generally speaking, most people prefer to have as few accounts as possible. With SoFi, you don\u2019t have to worry about creating a separate crypto trading account. Low-Cost Automated Investing: At just 0.25% in management fees, SoFi\u2019s robo-advisor is a relatively inexpensive option. Automatically Dollar Cost Average: Dollar cost averaging is a great way to invest, but it can be a pain to do so at certain brokerages. SoFi allows you to not only make recurring deposits into your account, but it also allows you to automatically buy stock with that money. Cons  Limited Investable Securities: SoFi doesn\u2019t have a great lineup of investable securities. They only allow customers to invest in stocks, ETFs, and a limited variety of crypto. Lack of Investment Research Tools: With just recent news and basic stock-related metrics, SoFi has an incredibly limited number of research tools. Mediocre User Interface: SoFi\u2019s user interface is surprisingly clunky, given the fact that they offer so little in terms of both investments and information.   Is SoFi Right for You? SoFi is a great brokerage for the right person. At the end of the day, SoFi has a decent product that has a niche that it serves well.  Who SoFi Is Best For If you haven\u2019t started investing yet, and are looking for a simple way to get started with a company you might already have a relationship with, SoFi is a great choice.  They support all of the securities that a beginner investor needs to be successful.  Not to mention, SoFi also allows users to make recurring investments in specific securities.  This is great for those looking for a truly hands-off approach to investing.  Who SoFi Is Not For SoFi is definitely not for the intermediate or expert investor.  With SoFi, you will not be able to execute more complex investment strategies, such as short selling, or hedging.  To put it simply, SoFi doesn\u2019t have the investment infrastructure needed to support a more advanced investor. Final Thoughts Overall, SoFi is a halfway decent brokerage for those looking to get started investing.  While they don\u2019t have the tools and techniques that more advanced investors require, that\u2019s also not the type of investor they cater to.  They make it easy for people who are already in their ecosystem to get started.  And at the end of the day, if someone who wouldn\u2019t have otherwise invested their money, starts investing because they\u2019re with SoFi, that\u2019s a win in our book.","isFamilyFriendly":true,"itemReviewed":{"@type":"Product","offers":{"@type":"Offer","priceCurrency":"USD","name":"SoFi Price","price":0,"availability":"OnlineOnly","@id":"https:\/\/moneydoneright.com\/passive-income\/stock-investing\/sofi-invest-review\/#Offer"},"url":"https:\/\/www.sofi.com\/","description":"SoFi Invest is the investing arm of the popular SoFi financial platform.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SoFi","https:\/\/twitter.com\/SoFi","https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/SoFi","http:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/2301992"],"image":"https:\/\/moneydoneright.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sofi-personal-loans-225x61.png","name":"SoFi Product","@id":"https:\/\/moneydoneright.com\/passive-income\/stock-investing\/sofi-invest-review\/#Product"},"isAccessibleForFree":true,"abstract":"SoFi Basics: SoFi Invest is the investing arm of the popular SoFi financial platform.
