Diversified
A broad fund can spread exposure across many companies, sectors or markets instead of depending on one investment.
Vestivy is designed to turn a gift into a long-term investment. For the MVP, the product is represented as a broadly diversified fund / ETF-style investment. The exact live instrument will be disclosed before real-money launch.
Rather than relying on the performance of a single company, a diversified fund can spread money across many investments. That gives the recipient exposure to a broader part of the market.

Vestivy is designed around years, not tomorrow's price. Time gives an investment more opportunity to participate in market growth.
No stock picking is required from the gifter. The recipient gets an investment experience designed to stay understandable.
Compounding happens when returns stay invested and can themselves generate future returns. The longer money remains invested, the more opportunities there are for that effect to accumulate.
Gift + time + reinvested returns = the possibility of compound growth.
Your investments may form part of your overall assets. Over time, if your total wealth reaches certain thresholds, this could affect things like taxes, benefits or other means-tested arrangements.
