Simplify Managed Futures Strategy ETF

Futures Trading

Designed for: Investors seeking managed-futures exposure through an ETF, particularly systematic long/short commodity and interest-rate futures, who want a 1099 wrapper and can tolerate model, derivatives and notional-exposure risk.

Minimum
No fund-imposed subscription minimum is published for CTA. As an exchange-traded ETF, investors generally buy shares through a brokerage subject to the share price and any broker-specific fractional-share or order-size rules.
Fees

SoFi Alternative Investments

Private Markets & Alternative Investments

Designed for: SoFi Invest users seeking private-market fund exposure at lower starting minimums than many traditional private funds who prefer a consumer brokerage workflow and can accept fund expenses, transaction fees and periodic rather than daily liquidity.

Minimum
Product-specific. Current 2026 references include $500 for the AngelList USVC Venture Capital Access Fund and $2,500 for the CAZ GP Stakes and CAZ Strategic Opportunities funds; no single minimum applies to every current or future SoFi alternative fund.

OANDA

Forex Trading

Designed for: U.S. forex traders who want precise position sizing, API access and a choice between spread-only and commission-based core pricing.

Minimum
Spread-only pricing has no stated minimum. Core spreads plus commission currently requires a $10,000 minimum initial deposit or balance.
Fees
Spread-only pricing embeds compensation in the spread, with current reference spreads of 1.4 pips on EUR/USD, USD/JPY and AUD/USD. Core pricing requires $10,000 and charges $0.70 per 10,000 units per leg with core spreads as low as 0.0 pips on selected majors. Crypto commissions can be as low as approximately 0.25%, with the actual Paxos pricing tier controlling. Elite Trader rebates run from $5 to $17 per million above $10 million monthly volume.

Koyfin

Trading & Research Platforms

Designed for: Fundamental and global investors who want institutional-style research and custom dashboards without institutional-terminal pricing.

Minimum
No investment minimum; Koyfin is a subscription platform with a functional free tier.
Fees
Current annual-billing monthly equivalents: Free $0, Plus $39, Premium $79, Advisor Core $209, Advisor Pro $299. Annualized, that is $468, $948, $2,508 and $3,588 per year respectively. Koyfin currently states annual billing can save up to 30% versus alternative billing, and these prices are date-sensitive.

SogoTrade

Online Brokerages

Designed for: Self-directed investors comfortable using qualifying limit orders; options traders who value a $0.50 contract fee; investors who understand order-type pricing; users who want an integrated Bakkt crypto account; margin users whose balance qualifies for lower published tiers; investors who value the GP2T limit-order credit program.

Minimum
No clean universal account minimum should be stated. SogoTrade's current FAQ says no minimum deposit is required, while another current pricing page displays a $500 account-minimum reference and promotions can require $500 equity; stocks priced below $1 also have a $100 minimum investment. Treat these as conflicting/product-specific references rather than one universal opening minimum.

Marshall Wace

Private Markets & Alternative Investments

Designed for: Institutions seeking equity long/short or systematic alternatives; investors comfortable with complex hedge-fund structures; allocators evaluating quantitative, systematic and fundamental strategies; investors able to evaluate master/feeder structures and vehicle-specific terms; investors who understand that 13F holdings are not the complete economic portfolio.

Minimum
No public universal Marshall Wace minimum. A current vehicle-specific reference for Marshall Wace Funds PLC - MW Eureka Fund is $115,220; that feeder-fund threshold must not be presented as a managerwide minimum.
