Review in detail
Behind wikifolio stands wikifolio Financial Technologies AG at Berggasse 31, 1090 Vienna. Its contact page shows Companies Register number FN 311504w and VAT ID ATU64383214.

Registering and building a virtual portfolio
After a free registration you can browse every wikifolio with its results. You may also set up your own virtual portfolio and measure it against top traders.
The traders include full-time investors, entrepreneurs, portfolio managers and financial editors, as the site describes them.
Who the terms address
Private use by residents of the EU, Switzerland, Norway and the United States is the stated audience, and the Commercial Court of Vienna is the venue for disputes.
Lang & Schwarz TradeCenter is named as the price calculator used for trades.
Position next to Empower
Empower reads your real bank and broker accounts. wikifolio does not; it is a place to test ideas and watch other people's strategies.
As a replacement it is a stretch, which is why it sits near the bottom of the list.
Points against
Because wikifolio is social trading and not an aggregator, your own broker holdings and net worth do not appear as at Empower. Data hosting and the costs of investing in wikifolio certificates were not in the text we read. For tracking real accounts, see Parqet.
Who wikifolio fits
People who like to try a strategy on paper first and study how other traders run theirs.
