HOW IT WORKS

Most investors buy stocks based on price and performance data alone — without understanding what the company actually does, how it governs itself, or whether it aligns with their convictions.

Monorail gives you a Monorail Impact Score on every U.S. equity and ETF — alongside the market data, news, and charting tools you'd expect from a modern trading platform. Drill into the score to see specific violation categories at the company level. Evaluate alignment before you buy, not after.

Screen every company before you trade

Every U.S. equity and ETF on Monorail includes a Monorail Impact Score — a security-level assessment you can drill into to see exactly how a company aligns with defined values-based criteria. Review the score and its underlying violation categories before you buy, and monitor alignment across your holdings over time. Learn more about how the Impact Score works.

Real-time market data and research tools

Live pricing, dynamic charting, company news feeds, and fundamental data in a clean, modern interface. The platform is built to give you the information you need to make informed decisions without overwhelming you with complexity. This is a research-and-execute environment, not a day trading terminal.

One account for your entire portfolio

Individual stock positions sit alongside your managed portfolios and retirement accounts in a single Monorail account. One view of everything you own, with screening data across all of it. Your self-directed trades and your professionally managed investments in one place.
