Ally Invest provides two ways to invest: self-directed trades and managed portfolios. Hands-on investors can trade stocks, options, and ETFs in a low-commission environment using self-directed trade. However, Ally took into account potential investors with limited knowledge or those who do not want to be responsible for investing their own money. Every type of individual investor has a choice with Ally thanks to its managed portfolios. Furthermore, the minimum deposit is only $100.
