Rett Avkastheim is a "let the software help you trade" platform aimed at everyday investors. Having tried it hands-on, we give it B+. What we liked most is the app — it's simple to use. Read on for the details.
Best for: People who are just starting out who want a simple app and don't want to pay extra fees.
Not for: Advanced traders who need special tools, or anyone who needs to reach a person by phone at any hour.
Rett Avkastheim is among the rare trading apps that spent its effort on the basics — like keeping your money safe and being honest about costs — rather than flashy ads. From what we saw in testing, we rate it B+.
The one thing we'd change is the price of some extras that are higher than the best rivals. These aren't deep problems — they're easy to change — they don't point to anything wrong with the app itself.
Placing a trade is quick and simple. When we tried it, orders went through smoothly and prices were fair, which isn't always true elsewhere.
If you stick to regular stocks, it does the job well. Complex strategies weren't always as quick — something to know if you're an advanced trader.
There's no charge to trade stocks — no commission. That's the good part.
Where it costs a bit more are certain extras, which could be lower. It's all shown before you pay, so you always know the cost.
The app is really well made. It's fast, tidy, and easy to find your way around, even if you've never invested before.
The app also comes with helpful information — clear charts, company details, and news — and it tells you where it comes from. The computer version works too, but the app is better.
Keeping your money safe is where Rett Avkastheim does well. Your funds are kept apart from the company's own money, so it's protected even if the company runs into trouble.
The platform is watched by independent regulators and is reviewed by outside experts. For crypto, it's stored with a regulated custodian — normal for the industry, but good to know.
In the end, Rett Avkastheim earns a rating of B+ for everyday investors. It gets the basics right: easy to use, safe, and honest about costs.
