Who We Are

A new brand from seasoned financial experts

You’ve probably never heard of us, and there’s a reason for that. We’re new.

Investore, which was launched in 2017, actually forms part of a well-established financial services group that has been in the business for over 30 years and founded as Synergy Financial Products Limited.

We started as a technology provider to the financial services industry with innovative database and software services. As our reputation grew we moved into launching and servicing our own protection and investment products and have served over 20,000 clients over our long history.

Now the time has come to look after YOU with the launch of Investore and our Dividend Income product.

We have over 30 years of experience in the industry.

We believe the benefits of investment should be for everybody, not just the wealthy. We believe YOU deserve better.

We strive to make all our products both brilliant and simple. Brilliant, because of the clever way they seek to deliver value. Simple, in that you don’t need to be a financial expert to understand what they offer you.
