Here’s our new commercial about what it feels like to be alive right now. Starring… a slug.

Since 2014, we've worked hard to introduce innovative features and products to help our clients achieve financial freedom. In 2024, we solidified our position as a sophisticated financial platform serving investors of all generations and wealth levels. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gHhC5z-f

Last week, we hosted our first live product deep-dive, “Cash: What’s New & What’s Next.” We highlighted some powerful features you might not be using (but definitely should be), like early direct deposits and automating your paycheque. We also gave a sneak peek of what’s coming in 2025. 👀 Here are a few that stood out: - Mobile cheque deposits, e-transfers to personal emails & bank drafts 💸 - International money transfers & USD accounts 💱 - And last but not least…the first-ever Wealthsimple Credit Card (launching in 2025) 💳 If you missed it or just want to revisit the highlights, you can catch the recording right here: https://lnkd.in/gJrZ8m6U

Private credit lets you earn money by making loans to private companies and collecting the interest. It can be a great diversifier — and we just made it available to even more investors. Want to know more? Our Chief Investment Officer is hosting a webinar to talk about how our private credit fund works and its strong performance this year. https://lnkd.in/gtZ6RZhK

With a High-Interest Savings Accounts (HISA), get up to 3.75% interest on your cash. Zero risk, zero fees. Open a registered HISA as a TFSA, RRSP, or FHSA, and get all the advantages of a tax-sheltered account. Keep all the interest you earn with no commissions or management fees. (Or account minimum, so deposit as little as you like to get started.) Instead of worrying about the performance of fluctuating markets, you can rely on an up-front interest rate and know how much you’ll be earning in advance. And, unlike with GICs, you have the flexibility to access your money or add to your savings, whenever you want. T&Cs apply.

Private equity was once an investment class reserved for mega-yacht enthusiasts. Then we started our own fund for ordinary investors. If you’re curious about how it did over the past year, our Chief Investment Officer can walk you through it on Dec. 5. Sign up for our latest webinar here: https://lnkd.in/giP94G2Q

If you don’t know the difference between private equity and private credit, we don’t blame you. Plenty of alternative investments exist, but they’re hard to follow if you aren’t a portfolio manager. Don’t worry, our Chief Investment Officer can give you a guided tour on Dec. 4 in our latest webinar. Sign up here: https://lnkd.in/ggWarb5H

We believe more people should have access to the power of alternative investments — and now they do. While most alt funds have historically been reserved for institutional investors, ours are now available for all qualifying clients with at least $50,000 in investable assets — even if those assets aren’t held with us. Alt investments can superpower your portfolio and increase potential for returns. Since launching in January 2024, our private equity fund has returned over 30%. Our private credit fund has returned 16.2% since its launch in June 2023. https://lnkd.in/g-_NuQ8R
