StockRepublic Expands to UK With interactive investor’s New Social Investing Platform
StockRepublic is now officially live in the UK – interactive investor recently launched “ii Community,” a new social investing platform that enables users to discuss stocks, anonymously compare portfolios, and get inspiration from other customers.
Based in Manchester, England, interactive investor is the UK's biggest flat-fee investment platform, with £59 billion of assets under administration and over 400K customers. Interactive investor initially launched a pilot of ii Community in April 2023 in order to boost customer engagement and increase trading activity. After just two months, ii Community demonstrated user stickiness:
- 35% DAU/MAU ratio and 60% WAU/MAU ratio
- 13.5 minute average engagement time
- 1.2 average daily sessions
Following a successful pilot, interactive investor chose to move forward with launching the platform to its entire user base. Now, all interactive investor members can join ii Community for free and benefit from the following:
- Learn from and get inspired by like-minded and top performing investors
- Exchange investment strategies and connect with other investors
- Unlock comparison benchmarks and insights
- Stay up to date on market and company news
We chose to collaborate with StockRepublic because of their unique ability to combine social interaction with investing insights, which aligns perfectly with our vision for the ii Community. We anticipate that this launch will transform the way our users engage with investing at ii, fostering a more collaborative and dynamic environment. It’s about creating a space where investors can grow together, and we’re confident that the ii Community will bring that vision to life.

We saw extremely encouraging results from the pilot with ii last year and are thrilled they decided to release the social platform to its entire customer base. This is also our first client in the UK so we’re excited for more investors in that region to have access to a more informative, engaging, and fun investing experience.
