Purveyors of hidden investment fees have reason to be concerned today.
FeeX just announced it raised $6.5 million in a second round of institutional funding, which will be used to continue expansion across the U.S. and to extend the company’s services beyond finding those pesky hidden investment fees on all kinds of accounts including IRA, 401(k), 403(b), 457, and brokerage accounts. The service evaluates a customers’ investments and presents a big picture view of all of their fees using its proprietary algorithms. From there, FeeX gives customers ideas as to how to reduce their fees.
With the new funding round, the company will be able to expand its service offerings to find hidden fees in banking, credit cards, mortgages, and other markets.
Horizon Ventures led the round, with previous investor Blumberg Capital also participating. This latest injection of capital raises the total funds raised to $9.6 million.
