Investing is no longer just for the wealthy

We want everyone to learn how to take care of their future. We know there’s a large section of the population who need financial advice to help them plan. So why isn’t everyone getting it? The problem with traditional finance advice services is that many people can’t afford them. We’re changing that.

Here, we’re leading by example. Thanks to new technologies, we’re making high-quality, regulated financial advice accessible to more people. You can now start investing online with advice from $1,000 – little more than the cost of the latest smart phone.

If you’re looking to build your knowledge, we’ve created a range of guides to support you, including our beginner’s guide to investing. If you want to open your first stocks & shares ISA, we’ve got a range of options for you. And if you don’t want any advice and instead want to choose your own investments, you can start investing with just $100. 

Whatever your level of confidence, we’re here to show you where the stepping stones are. With us, you can think big by starting small – and in doing so, make your future self proud.

Bear in mind, the value of investments and any income they generate can go down as well as up, meaning you may not get back what you invest. You can access your money if you need to, however you should aim to invest for at least 5 years.
