Raise Investment follows a unique subscription-based funding model that differs significantly from traditional brokerage accounts that charge percentage-based fees. This innovative approach provides transparency, predictability, and aligns our interests directly with investor success.

How the Initial Principal Works:

Raise Investment provides the upfront principal on your behalf, granting immediate access to institutional-level strategic investment opportunities. This principal is actively managed within diversified and downside-protected asset allocations, designed to optimize potential long-term growth while minimizing risk.

Is My Subscription Invested?

No. Your subscription isn't directly invested into an individual brokerage account, nor is it exposed to market risk. Instead, your subscription secures your access to the significant upfront principal we supply, supports the operational costs of Raise Investment, and ensures fair returns for our capital partners who supply the substantial funding that benefits all subscribers.

Key Reasons for the Subscription Model:

  • Predictable Costs: Unlike traditional platforms that charge based on assets under management (AUM), our flat-fee subscription ensures complete transparency about your costs, now and in the future—no surprises.

  • No Hidden Fees: There are no commission charges, transaction fees, or performance-based deductions reducing your returns.

  • Investor Alignment: Our subscription model shifts incentives from increasing fees to prioritizing long-term portfolio success and investor satisfaction.

  • Principal Acceleration: Raise Investment provides a substantial upfront principal to accelerate your compounding returns, significantly enhancing long-term growth potential. Achieving similar outcomes through traditional investing would require you to either provide the upfront capital yourself or invest approximately 3.5x the subscription amount monthly over time.

  • Access to Strategic Investing: Your subscription grants you access to institutional-level investment strategies, robust downside protection, and diversified market exposure typically reserved for institutional investors.
