The MoneyLion Active Investing account lets you easily control your investment journey. It’s designed for those who want to pick and choose their investments—whether stocks or ETFs (exchange-traded funds)—without the hassle or hidden fees. You can manage your portfolio right from the MoneyLion app and track your growth in real time.

This account gives you the flexibility to invest on your terms, making it perfect for both beginners dipping their toes in the stock market or seasoned investors looking for more control over their financial future.

### Why should I choose a MoneyLion Active Investing Account?

Here’s why our Active Investing account might be just the thing for you:

*   No trading fees: Yep, you read that right. No hidden fees when buying or selling stocks and ETFs.
    
*   Fractional shares: You can invest in your favorite companies without buying a whole share. Just a few dollars gets you in the game.
    
*   Easy-to-use app: Manage your investments from the same app where you handle all your MoneyLion services—making everything accessible in one place.
    
*   Real-time tracking: Keep an eye on your portfolio and track your investments as they grow or adjust in value.
    
*   Educational resources: Learn as you go with helpful tools and insights right in the app.
    

### What’s the minimum balance to start?

There’s no minimum balance required to open an Active Investing account. You can start investing with as little as $5—thanks to fractional shares.

### Can I still use my Managed Investment account?

Absolutely! The Active Investing account complements the Managed Investment account if you want to take a more hands-on approach with some of your investments while having other assets managed for you. It’s all about having the freedom to choose how you want to invest.
