Copper Street Awarded Trading Systems Innovation - Firm of the Year (USA) and Releases New Version for iPad and iPhone
Austin, TX (PRWEB) February 03, 2017 -- Austin, TX based Fintech startup Copper Street this week has been awarded the Trading Systems Innovation - Firm of the Year (USA) by Finance Monthly. In conjunction with the award, Copper Street released the latest versions of their educational and gamified stock investment platform. This release now makes the platform available on iOS for both the iPad and iPhone.
Using gamification, Copper Street aims to make it easy for new investors to learn about the stock markets from other platform users in a social environment. The fun league competitions target users familiar with online gaming or Fantasy Football. Users create a roster made up of stocks from the different stock sectors and use those rosters to compete against other users using real market data.
The platform's intuitive user-interface includes portfolio tracking, mini-games, stock research tools, and an educational element called Stock School which includes exclusive content to help new investors. Copper Street has also partnered with Benzinga to bring innovative, high-quality, and unique investment content to platform users.
Recent surveys have shown that 70% of millennials keep their savings in cash rather than invest it in the stock market (MarketWatch) and over 50% of American adults do not own stocks (Yahoo Finance). Copper Street will make it easier for those millennials and all new investors to learn about the stock markets and graduate to real trading.
Real trading on the platform is expected later this year with the introduction of Copper Street Pro for investors advancing through the platform and ready to invest real money.
