The latest in this category is an app called Stash, which takes an interesting approach to investment by measuring your interests and willingness to take a risk before offering up suggested investment packages.  Perhaps even more interesting is that you can start investing with as little as $5. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect from Stash:</p>

<ul><li>Minimum investment is $5, thanks to fractional shares, so it's not expensive or scary to start</li> <li>Choose from 30 investments, so you know where your money is going</li> <li>Investments are mostly ETFs created and managed by professionals like Vanguard and Blackrock</li> <li>Investments are tied to your beliefs, interests and goals, so they are relatable and easy to understand</li> <li>Stash provides recommendations, guidance and support</li> <li>If you opt in to social, you can see what investments your friends own, to share ideas (but not dollar amounts)</li> <li>Stash doesn't charge commissions. Our fees are $1 per month for accounts with less than $5,000, and 0.25% per year for accounts above $5,000</li> <li>Stash operates with bank-grade level security</li> </ul>
