Our Story

Founded in 2019, YourStake was formed from a vision to make portfolios feel personal.

We recognized that advisors struggled with delivering personalized experiences and advice because it was as too difficult and took valuable time away from other aspects of their practice.

This led us to create a platform that simplifies advisors' work and enhances the client journey to drive personalized investing.
