Reach your investment goal faster
with help from friends and family

Crowdvesting allows you to invest towards a goal and invite
friends and family to contribute to your investment.

Instead of giving traditional gifts, people can contribute directly
to your investment, helping you grow your savings faster.

What is crowdvesting?

Crowdvesting is a way to invest towards a personal goal while allowing others to contribute to your investment.

You create an investment using an Alexforbes Voluntary Plan and share it with your network. Contributions made by others are invested alongside your own, helping you build your investment over time.
