What Our Clients Say

I use FolioFirst as a cost effective and fun way to purchase stocks of companies I know. I also use it to teach my daughters about investing. At 10 & 13 years old, the new custodial accounts are a real positive. I noticed my daughter looking at past performance of stocks to determine if it would be a good buy for her. I think it’s a great service and I tell people about it all the time!

I enjoy trading on the Folio First platform. As a somewhat beginner investor, Folio First has given me the opportunity to dabble in the stock market with very little restriction or confusion.

For years, I've used money managers to handle my investments thinking it was the right way to invest. Since joining FolioFirst, my thinking has changed from passive to being more involved. The fees and online help are the top reasons I recommend FolioFirst to my family and friends.
Victoria S.
I love FolioFirst and I am so grateful to have a way to invest in stocks I want with small investment amounts. You have a broad choice of stocks to be well diversified, and it has been a wonderful experience to build my account. I simply can’t say enough good things about FolioFirst.
