💡 Hypothesis

The team at AD:60 performed significant Quantitative and Qualitative analysis on the key demographic Moneylion was targeting. We learned a few things:
1. Gen-Z & Millennials are socially conscious and want to make investing decisions that drive impact for social change or innovation.
2. Users get busy and have short attention spans - this may limit investing activity on the app - autodeposit + autoinvest are great ways to retain deposits via set-it-&-forget-it methods.
3. Users have different risk appetites - and want to allocate their portfolio based on this.

💡 Idea Conception
💡 Idea Conception
Upon evaluating the data, there were 3 key features that were identified to be launched as MVP’s to test on the platform:
1. Risk Profile: Investors could bucket themselves within 5 core tiers on the platform: Conservative, Moderately Conservative, Moderate, Moderately Aggressive and Aggressive. The main difference in these tiers is conservative portfolios are more focused on a stable ETF & Bond strategy, with lower weighting to stocks, while Moderate to Aggressive portfolios are weighted to high growth stocks. You can change your risk tolerance at any time.
