Crowdestate redesigns its auto-invest feature
Crowdestate has revamped its auto-invest product to improve the user experience and give investors more control of their risk parameters.
After becoming a licensed pan-European real estate crowdfunding platform, Crowdestate said it decided to redesign the product, removing some redundant features and adding new ones to allow investors to have better control of the investment risks on their portfolio level.

Introduced in 2015, Crowdestate’s auto-invest product is available to all investors free of charge.
The platform uses the parameters set by the investor to submit loan offers to the crowdfunding offers that meet the investment criteria.
Crowdestate uses investment risk categories to display the relative riskiness of crowdfunding projects published on the platform, ranging from A (the lowest level of risk) to E (the highest).
Its auto-invest product will submit loan offers only for the loans with a risk category lower than or equal to the risk category the investor has specified.
Users can also set up specific notifications to receive emails on the activities of their investments to stay informed.

Crowdestate said that European crowdfunding rules define its auto-invest feature as an individual portfolio management of loans. Investors can not use the auto-invest product to make equity investments due to regulatory restrictions.
“Crowdestate’s auto-invest has been around for years, and our investors have set up thousands of auto-invests to simplify their daily investment activities and save valuable time,” the firm said in a blog post on its website.
