OPTO is a pioneering thematic investment app, recently launched in the US, with a mission to revolutionise the retail investment industry. Our platform aims to support long-term wealth creation, automating portfolio management, and highlighting powerful secular trends including AI, Robotics, and Blockchain.

Our approach sets us apart from both traditional incumbents, and newer entrants who have gamified the investment process. Incorporated last year as a subsidiary of CMC Markets, OPTO embraces a start-up culture, offering a dynamic and collaborative working environment. Our small, high-performing, cross-functional team values impact and innovation, providing each member with significant responsibility and the opportunity to grow, develop their career, and drive real change.
