Derhalli said: “Investing is for everyone, but for too long its opportunity have been hidden behind a screen of misunderstanding and lack of investing confidence. As the Invstr experience has continued to evolve and grow, tackling the issue of investing education and demystifying what can be a complex subject matter has been a big priority for us. We want to lower the entry barrier for people who want to get into the markets and support a new generation of investors.

“Invstr Academy perfectly complements the learning experience we offer through Fantasy Finance and the Invstr Feed. It represents a major milestone in our goal to make it fun, easy and affordable for everyone to build confidence, knowledge and wealth from a young age and we can’t wait for our users to jump onboard.”

Invstr is based in London, Istanbul and Austin. Founded in 2013, it hopes to break down barriers and help users become better investors. The app is available onboth iOS and Android devices.
