Nuwealth is a saving and investing app that offers users savings tools, high-interest accounts and access to stocks, fractional shares, and ETFs. It’s simple and effective, but does it compete with similar apps?

The Verdict

Nuwealth is one of the cheaper options when it comes to saving tools and auto investing. In addition to ETFs, there is also access to a good range of high-value stocks, made accessible via Fractional shares are portions of shares (or ETFs) that are smaller than one whole share. They are designed to make ownership of large, expensive shares more accessible. fractional sharesinfo.

I admit that I was sceptical at first, but the app has won me over. For someone with little to no starting capital or experience, this presents a well-priced and easy-to-use option. Use the savings tools to build a pot, and then tap into the investments on offer. Fractional shares mean very little starting capital is required.

There are of course flaws. Investors should be aware of the 0.75% A foreign exchange (FX) fee is added to all trades involving foreign currencies. If you buy a stock that trades in US dollars, for example, and your home account is in GB pounds, you'll need to pay an FX fee.FX feeinfo when buying overseas stocks. In addition, there is zero assistance in the way of helping new investors pick their investments or understand their risk profile. All the ETFs are thematic, which means you can invest in a theme such as food, or AI. However, it also means you can’t access a simple tracker fund.

Who do I recommend NuWealth for?


This is definitely an option for complete beginners, and would specifically suit someone with little to no starting capital who can tap into the money saving tools to build an investment pot.

The Fractional shares are portions of shares (or ETFs) that are smaller than one whole share. They are designed to make ownership of large, expensive shares more accessible. fractional sharesinfo make owning a piece of big stock possible for anyone. The range of assets while lacking for more experienced investors, would not be overwhelming for a beginner.
