Frequently Asked Questions

Thematic Trading Fractionals are optimized model portfolios typically made of 10-15 stocks devoted to one topic, cause, or investment strategy, e.g. FinTech, Cybersecurity, or Inflation-Proof Portfolio. TTFs are automatically rebalanced when a new company becomes available or an existing stock is underperforming. It is the most convenient way to invest in what you like and believe in.

TTFs offer a balance between diversification and investment focus that is not found in ETFs.
‍
Gainy will regularly optimize and rebalance TTFs for clients, ensuring their portfolios are always up-to-date with the latest relevant companies and performance.

Using Gainy's recommendation tools and financial data, users can choose from over 70 model portfolios based on industries (e.g., Electric Vehicles), investment styles (e.g., Low-volatility stocks), and market conditions (e.g., Inflation-Proof portfolio).

Gainy's TTF investing is designed to provide optimal performance by leveraging advanced algorithms and automated rebalancing. This means that your investments are constantly monitored and adjusted to ensure that they remain aligned with your goals while minimizing risk. With TTF investing on Gainy, you can be confident that your portfolio is always working hard for you.

Unlike in stocks, when you invest in TTFs you don’t have to spend hours researching individual companies. We’ve researched the best stocks in each TTF based on their fundamentals, volatility, and returns. You can have laser focus investments in specific ideas but diversify your risks by investing in TTFs.
