This section is all about the Kiwi’s. Here, you’ll find a bunch of services I recommend. Each one has been throughly researched or even used by me personally.
Each company listed is New Zealand owned & operated, well trusted and popular. However, don’t be fooled by the sexy websites or smooth technology. Each platform has its pros & cons and it’s your responsibility to work out which is best for you.
As always, do your own due diligence.
I started here! This platform is where I first began investing, it’s super easy to use and offer several core index funds for simple investing, passive style (you know thats my fav). Fees are low and website navigation is super simple. Also offers term deposit options for those more conservative kiwi’s.
Another great start up from Wellington. You can purchase individual companies listed on the NZ stock exchange and more recently US exchanges too, if that takes your fancy. No minimum investment amount makes this very attractive, it’s worth a look. Very nice website/app and offers Kids accounts too.
A newer kid on the block. They only offer access to US based investments (individual stocks and ETFs), good for those wanting to invest in US stocks without the hassle of going through an expensive broker. Very intuitive and easy to use with ‘how to’ courses offered too. If you wanted to jump on the Tesla bandwagon, now you can!
Another bunch of Legends from over the ditch, created in Sydney and available to us Kiwi’s in May of 2020, this is another great investment app. You’re money is secured up to 500k and they offer free-free trading, think of them as the Aussie version of Robinhood. IMO, best suited for those more active & experienced traders.
