FAQs

Is an Origin Invest account right for me?
Our investment product caters to both novice and experienced investors looking for a simple, automated solution that provides global diversification and continually analyzes ways to optimize. Our end goal for you is simple: provide the investment tools for you to reach your financial goals.
How is Origin Invest different from competitors?
Origin Invest is unique in that we don't charge any asset under management (AUM) fees, which means investors keep more of their returns by investing with us.
Other robo-advisors take between 0.25% and 0.5% in AUM fees, and traditional wealth managers can charge up to 2%. For an investor looking to contribute regularly over a longer period of time, no AUM fees means they could be saving tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars by investing with Origin.
How much money do I need to get started?
As little or as much as you'd like — literally. We don't have a minimum amount. You can start with one dollar if you so please. Whether you're just beginning your investing journey or have been at it for years, you can open an Origin Invest account and start putting your money to work with whatever amount you're comfortable with.
We designed our platform to be accessible to anyone who wants to grow their wealth over time. That means our low-cost, globally diversified portfolios are optimized regardless of your starting investment amount.
Is my money secure using your platform?
Absolutely. The security of our customers' data and money is our top priority. Any money you invest through Origin is held by our custodian, DriveWealth, and is insured through SIPC for up to $500,000.
On top of institutional protection, we use advanced encryption, hardware security keys, and industry-standard bank-level security measures to safeguard your account and data. Our security team is constantly going through rigorous inspections and tests, including routine auditing from non-affiliated 3rd party security firms. For more info on our security measures, read here.
Can I invest in an individual stock or fund (i.e., S&P 500 index or Apple)?
No, you cannot invest in an individual stock or fund yet. Instead we offer access to our globally-diversified Core portfolio, which includes thousands of companies and is tailored to your needs. We built our portfolios to take advantage of the compounding power of time, so members don't have to worry about day-to-day market fluctuations. If you are an investor with a higher risk tolerance, we recommend exploring our Thematic portfolios that can be allocated up to 15% of your total investments.
