Getting Started

Getting Started

How do I start investing with Intellistocks?

Intellistocks is driven by the passion, expertise, and dedication of a proactive team spread across the globe with diverse skills and backgrounds, all focused on delivering clients an evolving and enriching investment experience. We initiate our relationship with you by conducting an initial discovery call to gather information about your investment objectives, challenges, and prior investment experience in order to determine how we can best serve you. This is followed by a detailed discussion with an expert to evaluate where you now stand, obstacles to achieving your objective, and the long-term success strategy that we can develop for you. Once you have been onboarded and your Interactive Brokers account has been funded, we will begin creating your portfolio.

What investments does Intellistocks offer?

Intellistocks provides investment objective-based solutions. These objective-based portfolios can be stocks only or stocks plus bonds. For investors with religious beliefs, we also provide ethical investing portfolios. We cover 37 stock markets across the globe.

How safe are my investments?

To begin with, risk management is a high priority for us. Even though all investments have some level of risk, our team of dedicated risk managers always ensures that your potential downside is kept in check and inline with your risk profile. Second, we place a high priority on the security of your funds. Every investment account in US stocks at Intellistocks is protected up to $500,000 against the failure of a broker by The Securities Investor Protection Corporation (SIPC), regardless of US citizenship.

How do you ensure that I invest with peace of mind?

With EROS, we provide you the future of performance-based compensation (Equal Responsibility & Opportunity Structure).Intellistocks EROS has the “Same Boat” concept. When a managed investment underperforms, we believe the manager should suffer not only implicit but also explicit losses on the same scale as when the managed investment outperforms.
Intellistocks EROS also eliminates the natural conflict of interest that exists between investors and managers because they are both members of the same team working toward the same goal: investment growth.

What time-frame do you recommend I take with a portfolio with Intellistocks?

Our investment strategy is designed for medium-to-long-term investments of at least three to five years. We recommend keeping this timeframe in mind when planning your investments. Our investment decisions are designed to prepare you for the long term, not to respond to short-term market fluctuations. Remember that no portfolio manager will be "up" daily.

What is the profile of a typical Intellistocks client?

Our clients are from different geographies and are a mix of both businesspeople and those who work for leading companies like Google, Microsoft, Adobe, Amazon, Cigna, Facebook, Salesforce, etc., as well as leading real estate investors and retired CEOs from various regions. Our clients are highly educated corporate professionals and C-suite executives with prosperous careers and substantial wealth. With their wealth come complex financial questions and decisions that require comprehensive, customized, and objective advice. Our clients trust us with the expert advice we provide for their wealth management, which gives them peace of mind and allows them to focus their energy on their family and other personal goals rather than continuously worrying about their portfolio growth.

How much do I need to invest?

With Intellistocks, you can acquire institution-grade, bespoke investment solutions for minimal investments. We onboard clients with as low as $100k USD. However, our average client capital is over $175k USD, and this is what we seek in a long-term partnership.

I do not understand investing!

You have nothing to worry about. This is why we have a team of experts manage your portfolio. Before starting the account, we will only ask you a few questions to determine your aims and ambitions. Then it is our responsibility to determine the most efficient means of reaching them and to manage any resulting risks.

I am happy with ETFs/bank deposits.

Many individuals assume that keeping their funds in a bank account is their only option. With rising inflation, however, your bank accounts and low-yielding assets will depreciate over time.Therefore, we must have a plan for investing our hard-earned money.

How does Intellistocks compare to other investment advising options?

You've likely had two alternatives when it comes to investing for the future: do it yourself or hire an advisor (in most cases, a banker). The first can be difficult, time-consuming, and error-prone, while the second has typically required putting up with obsolete technology and potential conflicts of interest, such as recommending funds to you based on where they make the most money rather than what is best for you.

We are fiduciaries, meaning we act in your best interests, unlike many other investment managers such as bankers. We are not compensated to recommend particular funds, nor do we engage in any form of opaque investment strategy. This indicates that we will act in your best interests. We constantly prioritize you.

What is your investment thesis?

We begin our search for businesses that will thrive regardless of who governs or what happens to the economy. Stocks with a low market capitalization that fall below our screening thresholds are removed. Significant quantitative filters are applied to select firms with an established track record or those that we believe have the potential for future success. The companies with a substantial economic moat that will enable them to outperform their industry peers are then further filtered using the intrinsic value approach.

Using the resulting multi-factor models and risk vs. return, every qualified stock is now ranked throughout the market and within its sector. Every day, we monitor micro and macro developments as well as critical risk variables to help manage portfolio risks and maintain investments' responsiveness to shifting trends.

What is your risk management philosophy

"Risk management is our primary priority. It is the foundation of every investment strategy, portfolio, and client relationship. Unlike traditional investment advisors, we base portfolio return expectations on risk rather than expected growth. We disagree with the notion that high risk and high reward go hand in hand.

Our objective is not exceptional investment performance but rather outstanding performance with less-than-proportionate risk. Here you can view our extensive, multi-tiered portfolio-level risk management approach."

Do you guarantee any fixed or minimum returns?

We are investors, not marketers. Therefore, we never promise returns. We research the past, evaluate the present, and invest in future winners based on experience and facts. With a time horizon of four or more years, an optimally diversified portfolio has the potential to deliver 20%+ average annual returns (based on historical performance of audited 23.8% CAGR).

Can my investment lose value?

The world is constantly changing, and stock markets are no exception. Since the inception of global stock markets, the long-term trend has always been upward (of course, there has been short- to mid-term volatility). You only need a highly disciplined portfolio-based approach (individual stocks may still lose money over the long term), highly scientific stock selection, pre-planned rebalancing, and a highly talented and educated research team. According to various studies and our combined investment expertise of more than 80 years, we have compiled a worst-case scenario of anyone losing money despite having all the investing qualities described above.

However, in order to provide you with solutions, Intellistocks offers complete capital protection against market losses.

Are you, like traditional portfolio managers, only good at buying? What about selling?

We believe that selling is very important to a portfolio's success. We have extensive market knowledge, an approach that emphasizes methodical analysis, and strong sales skills. Our ability to sell stocks at optimal times can contribute significantly to a portfolio's performance.
