Inside Nutmeg

Nutmeggers are a socially conscious bunch. That’s why you’ll find that socially responsible investing (SRI) is especially popular among them. In a series of blog posts, we’re asking why our team members chose this investment style.

At Nutmeg, we know that being able to keep up to date with your investments wherever you are is incredibly important to our customers. It’s one of the reasons we have a dedicated team of developers working on our iOS and Android apps, looking for ways to improve and develop them. We’re very proud of how we’ve rewritten the native iOS app to reach a near perfect average crash-free user rate – here’s more on how we’ve done it.

Many more investors are focusing on how their portfolios – whether ‘strictly ethical’ or not – align against environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. In this blog post we outline our own reasons for becoming one of the first wealth managers to offer ESG scoring for all our investment portfolios.

Climate change is an unstoppable force for change in society. It’s also an unstoppable force for change in investment – and one we believe every investor should pay attention to.

In this series we talk to a customer and get a feel for why they’ve selected socially responsible investing (SRI). Part two is with London-based designer Holly, who feels let down by the investment industry and sees SRI as a sign of better things to come.

In this series we talk to our community of socially responsible investors and get to know their histories, values and motivations for choosing socially responsible investing (SRI). Part one is with the London-based accountant and first-time investor Josh…

Our socially responsible investing (SRI) portfolios and ESG scoring say a lot about what we think investing should be: radically transparent and accessible to all. Here we reflect on what went into making them.

Nutmeg took part in a software development day to create an innovative tool to help spread awareness of pension fraud. The result was an online game in which players take on the role of a “cloaked vigilante” who must destroy pension scams before they reach their victims.

One of the ways Nutmeg adds value as a discretionary investment manager is the time and effort we put into choosing the exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in your portfolios. Analysing ETFs can be complex. There’s an abundance of choice with a multitude of factors to be aware of, and often the devil is in the detail. At Nutmeg, detail is paramount. Here’s how our approach to ETF selection makes your money work harder.

Our engineers, user experience and design teams are always striving for new ways to improve the experience for our customers. Technical performance is an obvious focus for us, but we’re also passionate about accessibility. We want to make it so that everyone can get the most out of Nutmeg. Having a disability shouldn’t be a barrier to becoming an investor or checking your investment performance. 

At Nutmeg, we’re proud to say that almost all our staff, as well as being employed by us, invest with us. We think that’s how it should be. In this series, we’re telling our stories.
