Social investing has now crossed the pond. Les Echos – a leading French business publication – has just
published an overview of social investing tools. The article entitled Investir
2.0: l’accès aux marches financiers se démocratise (Investing 2.0: access to
financial market is opening up) features Cake Financials, Covestor, TradeKing, Vestopia,
and Zecco, even though none of these services are currently available in France. I
wonder how much time it will take before localized versions of these services
start to appear. Boursorama, which has been very innovative and successful at
blending brokerage services with an online financial portal is probably already
working on an upgrade of its forums.
Hi there. I am one of the founders of Covestor.
We are already very much open to members from France. We do not have a local language site yet, or support local brokers for automatic import of trades but anyone from France, or anyone globally trading French stocks, can join using the manual trade entry process and simply needs to upload a recent statement from their local broker to get going.
Anyone wants to drop me a mail I am happy to discuss (perry@covestor.com)
