Investing can feel overwhelming – especially if you’re navigating it alone. Whether you're new to the markets or simply too busy to keep up with every headline, most individual investors face the same challenges: not enough time, not enough insight, and not enough confidence. The result? Missed opportunities, rushed decisions, or watching from the sidelines until it's too late. But what if smart technology could help close that gap? That’s where AI comes in.
Why most investors struggle with research
Investing isn’t just about picking the right stocks – it’s about staying informed, identifying trends early, and making timely, well-balanced decisions. Juggling multiple news sources, analyst opinions, earnings calendars, and price alerts can quickly become exhausting. When overwhelmed, many investors either act on impulse or freeze altogether. FCA research found that 25% investors still make investment decisions impulsively to keep up with current trends. Combine that with the fear of making a wrong move, and it’s easy to see why hesitation and overreaction are so common.
