Gotrade

Assessment

Gotrade is used by retail investors in more than 150 countries who want US stock access from $1. It reports more than 900,000 traders and investors and access to more than 3,200 US stocks, and its best use cases are fractional US share investing and simple portfolio building. Fees are published in the app fee pages, and its main competitors are Sharesies, Lightyear, and Trading 212.

Rohit Mulani founded Gotrade; Norman Wanto became CEO while Mulani moved to chairman. The firm is a Labuan Financial Services Authority securities licensee.

It fits an international retail investor focused on US stocks. It is a weaker fit for a US resident who already has a domestic brokerage, and for an adviser who needs RIA custody and model portfolios.
