About Wealthsimple

Wealthsimple was founded in 2014 in Toronto and is Canada's leading neobroker. As an IIROC-regulated provider, Wealthsimple has popularized commission-free stock trading in Canada. The platform combines simple trading with automated wealth management through an integrated robo-advisor. The product range includes stocks, ETFs, and cryptocurrencies – all tradable without commission. A 1.5 percent FX fee applies for US stocks, which can be reduced to 0 percent with the Premium subscription. Fractional shares enable entry even with small amounts. No minimum deposit is required. Wealthsimple is particularly suitable for Canadian beginners and passive investors seeking a user-friendly app with commission-free trading. The integrated robo-advisor offers automated portfolios for customers who don't want to actively manage their investments. However, advanced trading tools are missing.
