With so much going on in financial markets – whether it’s the latest corporate earnings release, catastrophic economic data drop, or just a stray opinion from your mate at the pub – investors can be understandably overwhelmed by the sheer volume of data out there.
It doesn’t help that markets have been exceptionally volatile over the last 18-months, with inflation at multi-decade highs, interest rates on the rise, and popular stock market indexes like the S&P 500 shedding close to 20% in 2022.
The negative impacts of this data or information overload is something well established by financial market academics.
The theory behind this goes something like this: ‘information overload increases information and estimation risk and deteriorates investors’ decision accuracy amid their limited attention.’
In a nutshell, when we face data overload – this death by data – our ability to make good investment decisions, the kind that should set us up for long term success – is diminished.
At Syfe we want to help you beat this data overload and elevate your investing no matter what the market is doing. Here’s five ways we help you do just that:

Or go global and trade US equities and ETFs for only US$1.49 per trade – letting you back world beating companies like Apple, Tesla, and Amazon.
5. Investing made flexible
From dollar cost averaging to tried-and-true buy and hold strategies, with Syfe you can experiment with new investment strategies and ideas and elevate your investing as you go. Buy fractions of US shares & ETFs starting from just US$1, or say goodbye to A$500 minimum parcel sizes and invest in 1,000+ Aussie shares from just 1 share!
