Sharesies

Sharesies' purpose is to financially empower the next generation by giving someone with $5 the same investment opportunities as someone with $5m. They’ve improved access to investing by having no minimum investment, removing jargon, and enabling people to build wealth over time. As at July 2021, Sharesies has attracted over 400,000 investors who, together, have invested over $1.5b. They believe, without Sharesies, that a large proportion of these funds would never have been invested. There are a wide range of funds on the platform, from bonds and cash through to the US500 and other international shares. They also offer a range of sustainable funds that consider environmental, sustainable and governance issues. They want to remove the taboo many people experience when talking about money. They want to see more people sharing their insights so that they can all become more financially empowered. They believe when knowledge is shared this will lead to more equitable opportunities.
