Get to know the new ETFs on our investment shelf
Last October we added the first range of investments to our investment shelf. Now we’re adding 16 more.
At Dozens, we’re committed to making investing less intimidating and more accessible.
We began by redesigning the process to make it less complicated – this is where our swipeable risk assessment, quick affordability checks and fairer fee structure came in.
Then we added strategies that were grouped into themes, so people can invest based on their interests.
Now we’re adding more strategies so, whatever our customers’ interests or risk level, there’s even more to choose from.
We cherry-picked a selection of ETFs from the best fund providers, and are confident that our investment shelf now offers a broad variety of products to suit the interests and varying risk appetites of our customers.
