When I launched Stockspot back in 2014, I never imagined this milestone would feel so meaningful.
Today I’m proud to share that we’ve become the first robo-adviser in Australia to manage over $1 billion on behalf of our clients.
That number isn’t just a measure of funds under management. It represents the trust that more than 15,000 Australians have placed in us to help grow their savings, super and investments. Many of you have been with us for years, through market swings, media noise, and the ups and downs of life. Some of you even signed up in the early days when we were just a team of four people.
We’re incredibly grateful.
Stockspot was created because I believed there had to be a better way to invest. One that didn’t involve paying hidden fees, trying to guess which fund manager would outperform, or needing a finance degree just to get started.
Over the last 10 years, our portfolios have quietly outperformed 99% of similar diversified funds. We didn’t do it by chasing hot stocks or market timing. We did it the boring way: by keeping fees low, diversifying broadly, and rebalancing when others were panicking.
Our gold allocation helped during the recent market volatility. But more importantly, our clients stayed the course through all of the ups and downs. That’s what really made the difference.
We’ve also seen a shift in who is using Stockspot over the years.
Robo advice has gone from a niche idea to a trusted way to manage money. More young Australians are using Stockspot to save for their first home, especially as buying property becomes harder.
SMSF trustees are turning to us to take the hassle out of managing their portfolios. And over 5,000 parents have opened accounts to invest for their kids, giving them a financial head start through smart, long-term investing.
And just recently, we launched Stockspot Super – Australia’s first ETF-only superannuation product. It brings the same principles of low fees, transparency and smart rebalancing to your retirement savings.
We still have a long way to go. We want to help more Australians invest with confidence. We want to keep challenging the super industry to do better. And we want to make sure Stockspot stays the most trusted way to invest.
To our clients, thank you. You’ve helped us build something we’re really proud of.
To our team, thank you for your passion, care and relentless focus on making Stockspot better every day.
We’ll keep making investing feel easy, safe and consistent so more Australians can feel confident reaching their financial dreams.
