About Us
Magnifi Communities is a collection of investing communities. Each of our communities helps the others better serve individual investors so they can find the best financial products, strategies, education, and advice.
Working together, and using relationships with the rest of TIFIN, Magnifi Communities can create a deeper understanding of what best serves our investing users and even connect them with tools and services that extend their knowledge and ability to act on that knowledge.
We believe that investing expertise, combined with data analysis and tools, levels the playing field for individual investors and democratizes investing intelligence beyond just “access.”
