Pure Benchmarks - Wall Street has the data. Now you do too.

by•
Wall Street has had a monopoly on retail investor data for decades, using it to empower itself. Help us disrupt that monopoly and put it to work for investors instead. We built the platform retail investors never had, the measuring stick that finally shows how your wealth management firm is actually performing, ranked against real peers at your firm and every other firm, by allocation, by city, even by zip code. Connect your account in 60 seconds, read-only, and see the truth for yourself.

Hey Product Hunt — Shawn Tierney here, founder of Pure Benchmarks. I spent ten years as a financial advisor watching retail investors fly blind, and 19 years ago I first tried to build a way to fix that. The technology wasn't there yet. Now it is, and we built the platform that takes the data Wall Street hides on the back end and translates it into actionable tools on the front end for retail investors. We're looking for early adopters willing to give serious feedback and help build the mission below: Community Nests show you exactly how your portfolio ranks within your own wealth management firm, and against every other firm managing similar portfolios, by allocation, by state, by city, even by zip code. For the first time, you can see whether your money is actually being managed well, compared to real people in your exact situation. The Retail Nine Benchmarks finally give retail investors a real default benchmark. The S&P 500 is 500 large cap U.S. companies selected by committee, if your portfolio holds bonds, international stocks, or anything other than pure large cap U.S. equity, comparing it to the S&P 500 is mathematically meaningless. The Retail Nine measures you against real portfolios with the same actual composition as yours, the only comparison that tells you anything true. Are you outperforming, underperforming, or in-line with real world investors in your same asset allocation model. The Decision Benchmark tracks every trade, every reallocation, every decision ever made on your account, whether by you or your advisor, and benchmarks it against what would have happened if that decision had never been made. When the old portfolio is gone you can't compare it to the new - now you can. You finally see whether the choices made with your money helped you or quietly cost you. Hetty is your portfolio AI, confined entirely within our walls with no internet access. She only reasons from your own verified data, so the answers she gives are never shaped by outside noise, ads, or anything other than the truth of your own portfolio. We also built tools to directly address panic selling, the single biggest reason retail investors underperform the market. During heavy market declines, we show you exactly what your own portfolio looked like through past downturns, real history, real recoveries, so you can see the full picture instead of reacting to a single bad week. All of this runs on real, verified, anonymized data, aggregated and held completely separate from Wall Street's hands. Nothing is touched, sold, or influenced by any firm. The data belongs to the investors who generated it, not the institutions that have profited from it for decades. This platform is the investor! We're in Pioneer phase, the first 250 portfolios per category get free lifetime access. Happy to answer anything below. — Shawn
