You’re about to build equity by owning equity
We believe that the racial wealth gap is the social justice issue of our time because it directly impacts many of the other issues the Black community faces.
Here are the facts:
Your trajectory is looking up
The racial wealth gap’s continued growth is due in large part to our lack of participation in the stock market, a powerful tool in building wealth.
The good news: investing a dollar per day today for 30 years would nearly halve the racial wealth gap on an individual basis.

The portfolios are comprised of a mix of low-cost equity and fixed income ETFs (exchange-traded funds). We are a fiduciary, which means we act in your best interest.

By law, Stackwell must verify a person’s identity before opening an investment account for them. Four key attributes are commonly used to confirm a person’s identity in the United States. These include your name, address, date of birth, and social security number. Without verifying those four elements, we can't confirm your identity. Even if it wasn’t legally required, identity verification is a best practice that Stackwell would still perform because it protects you. Our identity checks are meant to ensure someone trying to open an account “as you” really “is you”.
-
By federal law, Stackwell cannot open an investment account for anyone unless we're able to verify their identity. Additionally, all investment accounts must be associated with a tax identification number so that the government can collect taxes, if necessary. Stackwell fulfills these two requirements by requiring a social security number from every investment accountholder.
