Not all share investing platforms are created equal.

In this episode, we compare five of the most popular investing platforms used by Kiwis – Sharesies vs Hatch vs Kernel vs Stake vs Tiger Brokers.

Even though property is our main gig, we know a lot of you dabble in shares too. So, we put these platforms head-to-head and asked: Which is the fastest to get started on? Which one has the best fees? And which is best for beginners?

You’ll learn:

  • Why some platforms are designed for long-term investors – and others for trading on the go
  • The key difference in how your money is actually held on each platform (and what happens if one goes under)
  • Which app we’d use if we were starting with just $100 today
