The company, named IU, was officially launched in 2012 and focuses on providing independent advice on equities, currencies, and derivatives.
The company was created as a response to the lack of independence found in the financial industry, where the interests of financial professionals are not always aligned with those of their clients.
IU takes an agnostic approach to the markets and client success, and is not beholden to any particular bank, product, strategy, market, or broker.
The company’s focus is on aligning its interests with those of its clients and their long-term success, even to the extent of being willing to allocate capital and risk away from strategies that are not working for clients.
