## What is Arken Invest?

Arken Invest shows you what your investments really cost, what they hold, and how they are set up for tax. 
Add the funds, ETFs, shares and cash you own, and Arken analyses them using published figures you can check.

WHAT ARKEN DOES

See what you pay
Your blended fund charge (OCF) and what it costs in pounds each year. 
Every fund charge in Arken is read from the provider's own document, and the date of that document is shown.

Lower-cost options
For costly funds, Arken shows verified lower-cost funds covering a similar market, and what the difference adds up to over 10 and 20 years. 
Tap one to open the factsheet its charge came from.

Compare UK platforms
See what your portfolio would cost on 10 UK platforms, from their published fees, next to what you pay now.

What you really own
Arken looks inside your funds to show the companies you own underneath, and where the same company turns up in several funds.

Tax wrappers
See how your ISA, SIPP and general account are used, with tax estimates based on this tax year's figures from GOV.UK.

Ask Arken
Ask about your portfolio, or about any fund in Arken's verified list, by text or voice. Answers use your own holdings and published fund facts.

Smart Alerts
Arken flags what may be worth reviewing, across fees, concentration, tax and allocation.

Health score and goals
A portfolio health score, a comparison with four risk models (Cautious, Balanced, Growth and Aggressive), and goals for your ISA allowance, an emergency fund, retirement and more.

Import from a screenshot
Take a screenshot of your platform's holdings page and Arken reads the holdings from it.

FREE AND PRO
Free: your portfolio overview, health score, top three alerts, what you really own, and a full demo portfolio to explore.

Arken Pro adds Ask Arken, the full fee analysis, tax analysis, platform comparison, every Smart Alert and screenshot import. 
Every new account gets two free Ask Arken questions.

YOUR DATA
Your holdings and goals are stored only on your phone, encrypted. You don't need an account. 
Sign in with Apple is optional and keeps your subscription with you.

When you use Ask Arken, voice questions or screenshot import, your question, recording or image goes through Arken's server to the AI service that answers it, as set out in our privacy policy. Arken never connects to your broker or bank, and cannot buy or sell investments. You can lock Arken with Face ID.

IMPORTANT
Arken Invest is an educational tool. It is not regulated by the FCA and does not give financial advice. 
Nothing in the app is a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any investment. If you are unsure what is right for you, speak to a regulated financial adviser.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.3 — 2026-10-23

What you hold, at a glance

Home now shows your total with one bar of what your money is in: shares, mixed funds, cash and so on. Tap it for the full breakdown.

Compare UK platforms

See what your portfolio would cost on 10 UK platforms, from their published fees, next to what you pay now. 
Find it in Insights, under "What if I switched platform?". Arken shows the fees; the choice is yours.

A more accurate Ask Arken

Ask Arken now runs on a more capable model and is given your exact yearly charges, so its figures match the rest of the app. 
It can also tell you about the lower-cost funds Arken lists for your holdings, and answers in plain text.

More funds, every charge checked

Fund search now covers more than 350 fund and ETF share classes, including the M&G range, Baillie Gifford, BlackRock, gold, gilts and property. 
Every charge is read from the provider's own document.

This tax year's figures

Tax estimates now use the 2026 to 2027 figures from GOV.UK, including the new dividend tax rates.

Easier to read

Clearer text and a refreshed dark mode, with every label checked for contrast.

Fixed
• A fund with no charge entered was counted as costing nothing, which made fees look lower than they are. It is now left out, and Arken tells you.
• The performance chart on Home has been removed. Arken doesn't keep your price history, so it could not show a true one.
• Holding down on a holding now asks before removing it.
• Voice questions work again on the latest iOS, and silence is no longer sent as a question.
• Bond and money market funds were taxed like shares in tax estimates. They are now treated as interest, with your Personal Savings Allowance applied.
• Tax estimates now apply your dividend, savings and capital gains allowances.
• Moving a fund held outside an ISA or SIPP now notes that it means selling it, which can mean Capital Gains Tax.

### 4.2 — 2026-10-02

Ask about any fund
Ask Arken about any fund in our verified list, whether you own it or not. 
See what it would cost you each year and over 10 and 20 years, then ask what it holds or how it compares.

A simpler Ask screen
One card for your portfolio, one for funds, and one suggested question at a time.

Gold and other commodities
Record gold, silver, platinum, palladium, oil and broad commodity holdings as commodities. 
Arken recognises physical gold ETCs and coins as you type, counts them as alternatives rather than shares, 
and treats Sovereigns and Britannias as free of capital gains tax. Funds that own mining companies stay as equity.

Your holdings stay on your phone
Your holdings are now stored only on your phone, encrypted, even when you're signed in. 
Your account keeps just your subscription. Turn on Face ID lock in Profile to keep Arken private, and Arken is now hidden when you switch apps.

Improved
• Ask Arken's answers appear as they're written, so you're never left waiting on a blank screen.
• Voice questions stop recording by themselves when you finish speaking.
• Searching for a fund that isn't in our verified list now tells you so.
• After subscribing, Arken confirms it, and tells you if your subscription is still being confirmed.

### 4.1 — 2026-09-27

Know how current every figure is

Every fund charge now shows the month of the provider document it came from. 
If a document is more than six months old, Arken says so, and fund suggestions are never based on a document more than a year old.

Check it yourself

Tap a suggested fund in Insights to open the provider's factsheet its charge was read from. 
"Ask Arken" on a fund card now opens with a question about that fund, ready for you to send.
Fixed
• If Ask Arken, voice or screenshot import needed you to sign in or subscribe, you saw "Connection error". Arken now takes you to the right place.
• The demo portfolio button on Home is easier to find.

### 4.0 — 2026-09-01

Sign in with Apple — optional

You can now create an account with Sign in with Apple. It backs up your holdings and keeps your subscription with you when you change phone. Arken
works fully without one, and you are never asked to sign in to use the app.

Fund search that fills in the details

When you add a holding, search for your fund by name or ISIN. Arken fills in the ongoing charge from the provider's own factsheet, along with the date that
factsheet was published. Every charge in the list was read from a published document — nothing is estimated.

Two free questions
Every account gets two Ask Arken questions on the house.

Fixed
• Ask Arken's answers were running words together. They now read properly.
• Fund suggestions were recommending a global tracker for holdings labelled "United Kingdom" or "North America". Corrected.
• Several fund charges were wrong or missing, including one that was double the real figure.
• You can now delete your account and all its data from Profile → Account.

### 3.9 — 2026-08-30

Fixes a display issue that affected layout on several screens.
You can now restore purchases and manage your subscription from Settings.
