Connecting Investors With Their Impact, Swell Launches New Account Experience

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., Jan. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Swell Investing announced today a completely redesigned interactive user interface, connecting investors more deeply to the companies in their portfolios and empowering them to learn about the positive impact they have on the world.

After signing in to the platform, investors in Swell's six portfolios of high-growth companies solving global challenges can now view:

    --  Market Analysis: Exclusive insights help the Swell community relate
        overall market movements to investment performance.
    --  Investor Reading List: News and insights illustrate how each portfolio
        company is engaged in impact and accountable to Swell's selection
        criteria.
    --  Portfolio Pages: Investors can now dive deep into each of the portfolios
        in their Swell mix and learn more about the portfolio's performance and
        the companies within it.

Swell developed its new interface following in-depth, qualitative interviews with more than two dozen investors who expressed an overwhelming interest in expanding knowledge of their investments beyond performance to include how the companies in their portfolios are shaping the world.

In a study released last fall, Swell Investing found that nearly half (49%) of millennials who invest weren't able to name the top three companies in their portfolio. This was despite an overwhelming interest in investing responsibly, with seven in 10 Americans saying it's important that their values align with their decisions around investing.

"Through extensive research, we found that investors have a strong desire to learn about the companies in their portfolios," said Dave Fanger, CEO and Founder of Swell Investing. "Providing a true impact option means that the companies within our portfolios need to be core to the investor experience. This is a key differentiator for Swell among other socially responsible options."

Starting at $50, Swell offers investors the opportunity to invest in portfolios of companies poised for growth as they work to solve major global challenges. Launched in May of 2017, Swell has attracted nearly 3,000 investors and an AUM of more than $14M in a little over seven months.
