Sharesies has gotten me excited about growing my wealth
I have never made any investments prior to using Sharesies. I always thought that the minimum buy in was too high and the risk was too great. I also felt that the amount of knowledge that you were required to have of financial markets was out of range of my expertise. I like Sharesies because they don't have any minimum amount you need to purchase because they let you own fractions of shares. They also help you learn about investing in a really accessible way through their onboarding emails which makes it less intimidating. I like that I have access to the US and AU stock exchanges and can search by responsible companies. I also feel that they are transparent about the risks involved in investing and allow you to search by risk level. I do wish I could track stocks that I was interested in and get notification of movement in my portfolio. I really enjoyed the $15 sign up bonus as it allowed me to get started quickly. I would defiantly recommend this product for people who are interested in learning more about investing in the stock markets or who have limited funds to invest.
