Commission-free investing platform Public.com is launching in the UK, marking the Robinhood rival’s first expansion outside its American home market.
The New York-headquartered firm will allow British retail investors to trade more than 5,000 US stocks and access additional services such as data and research from Thursday, Leif Abraham, co-CEO and co-founder of Public, said in an interview. The company, which also offers investing in US Treasuries, exchange-traded funds, crypto and alternative assets in the US, plans to eventually expand the products it offers in the UK and move into other European countries, Abraham said.
