Built for US self-directed investors

Know what to do with your portfolio in 2 minutes every morning.

Every US market morning, a 2-page brief reads your portfolio — VTI, VOO, QQQ, NVDA, every name you own — and tells you whether to hold, watch or act, with the exact reason. You execute on your broker. We never touch your money.

What people are saying

  • Honestly, the first investing tool that's actually made me feel smarter about my own money. My portfolio is up around 6% since I started following the briefs.

    Sarah K.·BrooklynUS
  • I'm following their recommendations and it just makes sense. Best money I spend each month — I feel like I'm finally investing on purpose instead of by accident.

    James R.·LondonUK
  • I've learned more about investing in three months than in five years of reading random articles. The morning brief is part of my routine now.

    Mike L.·AustinUS
  • Was sceptical at first. Three months in, my returns are up and my anxiety is way down — both at the same time, which I honestly didn't expect.

    Priya N.·ManchesterUK
  • It's changed how I think about my own portfolio. I check it once a day now instead of refreshing every hour. That alone has been worth it.

    Daniel C.·San FranciscoUS
  • Genuinely helping me invest better. I trust what I read here more than the noise on YouTube or Twitter, and my book is in much better shape because of it.

What you get

Three things. No fluff.

01 · The verdict

One clear word, every morning.

HOLD, WATCH or ACT — a single read on whether your portfolio needs you today, drawn from your holdings against their plan, not from market noise.

On plan? The brief tells you so — plainly.
02 · Action, only when earned

A move only when it's real.

The Tactician changes a position only when it drifts past its tolerance band — never on a daily schedule. Most weekdays: nothing to do, and a clear reason why.

Discipline over activity
03 · The radar & the why

What's coming — and the reason behind it.

Earnings on your holdings, the Fed, inflation prints — flagged before they land. Every figure traced to a source. Two minutes, your inbox or Telegram.

Cited · email or Telegram
How it works

Seven specialists read your book before you wake up.

Each agent has one narrow job — prices, news, drift, ideas, risks. They run in parallel against live market data and one Scribe writes the brief, with every number traced to its source.

Apertture AI

And an analyst on call, any time you want one.

The brief lands at the time you choose. The questions come whenever they come — Apertture AI is there for them. A calm, experienced voice on markets, instruments, and every term inside your brief, that knows the shape of your book.

  • Knows your book without knowing you.Sees tickers, asset classes and approximate weights — never your name, email, or balance. Concrete answers, zero personal data upstream.
  • Frames trade-offs, never picks the trade.Asks what would have to be true. Names the bull and bear case. Leaves the call to you. The way a salaried analyst would explain it to a private client.
  • Streams the answer, follows up itself.Token-by-token replies with three smart follow-ups under every one — so the conversation goes somewhere, not in circles.

Educational, not personalised advice. Apertture publishes under §202(a)(11)(D); the chat never tells you to buy or sell.

I have $1,000 to invest this month — what do you think?
I can't tell you what to buy — that's your call, and it should be driven by your thesis.What I can do is frame it. Against a book where VKTX sits at roughly 40%, the question isn't "where do I put $1,000" — it's whether the concentration is doing what you intend. $1,000 is too small to rebalance that.

★Executive summary · Scribe

The book is on plan. Five of six holdings sit inside their target bands — no action needed. BND has drifted 6.3 points below its 20% target as bonds sold off; the Tactician flags a top-up to restore the model's fixed-income sleeve. Nvidia reports after the close on May 20; FOMC minutes land the same day.

Transparency

No track record to fake. A standard to hold us to.

Apertture is new. We will not show you a back-tested hit rate we did not earn. Here is the deal instead — and it starts the day we launch.

01 / In public

Every call, logged.

From day one, each signal the engine publishes is recorded with a timestamp, a thesis and the price at the time. Nothing is edited after the fact.

02 / Scored in the open

Measured against the market.

Each call is scored against its benchmark on a fixed horizon — wins and misses both. The public scoreboard updates every Friday.

03 / Before you pay

Readable by anyone.

The scoreboard is open. Judge the engine on real, dated calls — not a marketing number — before you ever enter a card.

How it works

60 seconds to set up. Then it runs itself.

01 / Connect

Paste your tickers.

Type them, paste a CSV, or adopt one of our model portfolios. Read-only — we never connect to your broker, we never trade.

02 / The engine runs

06:55 → 07:25 AM ET.

The seven agents wake up before you do. Overnight news, pre-market quotes, macro releases, earnings calendars. Cost per brief: under 30¢.

03 / You decide

Two minutes, your channel.

Inbox or Telegram. Read the verdict. Most days it says you're on plan and you move on — Apertture never tells you what to do, it tells you what changed.

Information, not advice

Published under the §202(a)(11)(D) publisher's exemption — Apertture is not your adviser.

Read-only

Apertture never connects to your broker, and never places a trade for you.

Portfolio data is encrypted at rest and never used to train models.

Cancel anytime in one click. No clawback, no questions.

Why Apertture exists

The morning briefing every investor deserves.

Hedge fund analysts walk in to a desk full of overnight research. Retail investors walk in to a brokerage app, a dozen browser tabs, and a chatbot that improvises numbers — and, too often, the urge to trade on the noise.

That gap shouldn't cost $24,000 a year. The analysis is the same; only the price tag is absurd.

So we built Apertture: seven AI analysts that read the markets and your portfolio overnight, and hand you a cited verdict before the bell. We never sell you a trade. Most mornings the verdict is "you're on plan" — and we give you the reasons to believe it, and the calm to close the app.

Questions

Everything people ask before they sign up.

Is Apertture financial advice?

No. Apertture publishes general market analysis under the publisher's exemption (Investment Advisers Act §202(a)(11)(D)). It is information, not personalised investment advice. The final decision is always yours.

What if the brief tells me to do nothing most days?

Often it will — and that is the feature, not a gap. Frequent trading quietly erodes returns through costs and tax. Apertture earns its place by catching the few mornings that genuinely need a decision, and giving you the confidence to calmly ignore the rest.

Can I receive the brief on Telegram instead of email?

Yes. During onboarding you pick your channel — email, Telegram, or both. Switch anytime in settings. The Apertture plan supports multi-channel delivery.

Where does the data come from?

A market-data provider covering US-listed equities and ETFs, FX and crypto, plus global macro and rate-decision calendars. News is attributed by source URL. Every figure in a brief traces to a URL or a snapshot ID — nothing is improvised.

Does Apertture cover European or IBEX-listed stocks?

Not yet. v1 covers US-listed equities and ETFs, FX and crypto — where most of a modern retail portfolio already sits. European-listed equities (IBEX, Euronext, Xetra) are on the roadmap; until they ship we say so plainly rather than imply coverage we don't have.

Does it connect to my brokerage?

No, by design. Two ways to add your book — pick whichever is easier: (1) upload a CSV export from Fidelity, Schwab, Robinhood, IBKR or any broker — fastest path, since the file usually carries the historical cost basis we need; (2) type tickers in manually. Stuck on either? Hit the in-app chat and we'll walk you through it. Apertture is read-only intelligence — we never have permission to trade and we never want it.

How do I get billed and cancel?

Recurring billing through Stripe. One click in your account to cancel — no phone calls, no retention dance. Annual plans give you two months free.

Can I have multiple portfolios?

Free includes 1 portfolio. Apertture includes 2 — run a model portfolio and your own book side by side. Advisor supports up to 25 client portfolios, each running the full agent pipeline.

When do I get the brief?

Whenever you choose. The engine writes your brief pre-market in New York; you pick the hour it lands — in your settings, in your own timezone. Pick a slot before the brief is ready and it simply arrives as soon as it is, on email and Telegram together.

Can I get a brief on a single ticker without subscribing?

Yes. One-off micropayments: deep-dive on a holding ($4.90), sector comparison ($6.90), earnings alert ($1.90), custom ad-hoc brief ($9.90). No subscription required.
