Scalable Capital aims to provide institutional-level investing to the retail investor. Like older firms in the space, it uses exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to invest across all major asset classes. And like others, it currently requires a £5,000 minimum investment, with an all-in fee of 0.75 per cent per annum.

"Scalable Capital has raised £9.6million from well-known investors and business angels in two financing rounds. These investors believe in our mission to provide retail clients with a professional, intelligent and cost-efficient investment management service. This quality of service was previously only accessible to high net worth individuals and institutions.
