However, how much you should invest depends on your own financial position. The general rule of thumb is to invest 110% minus your age in stocks. So based on the rule, if you're 25 years old, 85% (110% - 25) of your net worth should be in stocks. It's up to you how much of that you'd like to invest in Ursa.
Please note Ursa only invests in equity (stocks) and does not offer a complete diversified asset portfolio that includes other assets like fixed income.
To use Ursa, you will be opening a brokerage account with our custodian DriveWealth, LLC. We are both required by law (the U.S. Patriot Act) to collect information to verify your identity. In addition, your account will have gaines/losses that require tax documents to be reported and filed with the IRS.
We securely store your SSN with bank-level security through a third-party secure data storage expert that is SOC 2 compliant. Your social security number is encrypted and never stored on our servers.
To build a portfolio, you need to fund your account from a checking or savings account. We use Plaid to securely authenticate your bank details to enable ACH deposits and withdrawals. Plaid is a market leader in financial data and works with thousands of FinTech companies to facilitate data connections with financial institutions.
We never store your bank credentials nor account numbers on our servers.
We charge a 1% annual AUM fee monthly in arrears. Essentially we charge 1% of your average Ursa account balance for brokerage, custodial, investment advisory and other related services debited from your account at the end of each month. The AUM fee does not include other charges imposed by third-party financial institutions (see Fee Schedule).
