Wealthsimple

Wealthsimple Inc. is a Canadian fintech company specializing in online investment management, trading, savings, and related financial services, designed to make wealth-building accessible to everyday users through low-fee, automated platforms. Founded in September 2014 by Michael Katchen, Brett Huneycutt, and Rudy Adler in Toronto, Ontario, the company began as a robo-advisor offering automated portfolio management and has since expanded into a full-suite financial app. Katchen, the CEO and co-founder, drew from his prior experience in product management at Ancestry.com to address barriers like high fees and complexity in traditional investing, particularly for younger Canadians. The company's core mission is to empower individuals to achieve financial freedom by reducing stress around money through simple, transparent tools that prioritize long-term growth over aggressive risk-taking. Its flagship offerings include managed investing portfolios using exchange-traded funds (ETFs), self-directed stock and cryptocurrency trading via the Wealthsimple Trade app, high-interest savings accounts, premium banking services, and automated tax filing through Wealthsimple Tax. Wealthsimple emphasizes social responsibility, such as providing fee-free investing for low-income users and supporting financial literacy initiatives. As of August 2025, Wealthsimple serves approximately 3 million customers across Canada and administers over $100 billion in assets, reflecting a 93% year-over-year growth driven by increased retail investing during market volatility. In October 2025, it secured additional investment from Power Corporation of Canada, valuing the company at C$10 billion in a new equity round and solidifying its position as one of Canada's leading neobanks. Recognized by The Globe and Mail as "Canada's next big bank," Wealthsimple continues to innovate in the digital finance space, competing with traditional institutions by focusing on user-centric design and regulatory compliance.

History

Founding and early development

Wealthsimple was founded in September 2014 in Toronto, Canada, by Michael Katchen, Rudy Adler, and Brett Huneycutt as a digital robo-advisor platform designed to provide accessible, low-cost investment management services to Canadians. Katchen, who had previously worked as a consultant at McKinsey & Company for two years after graduating from the University of Western Ontario and later contributed to the sale of the startup 1000memories to Ancestry.com, drew inspiration from his early interest in investing—having won a stock-picking contest at age 12—and the emerging model of automated online platforms in the U.S. to create a service that would simplify portfolio management for everyday investors. The company's initial vision emphasized democratizing financial advice by leveraging technology to reduce barriers, targeting primarily millennials and younger clients under 45 who were underserved by traditional high-fee advisors. Upon launch, Wealthsimple introduced its core automated investing service, which built diversified portfolios using low-cost exchange-traded funds (ETFs) with no minimum investment requirement beyond a practical starting point of around $5,000, and offered support through virtual "wealth concierges" via video chat, text, and mobile app. The platform's fee structure was a key differentiator, charging an annual management fee of 0.5% on assets under management—significantly lower than the average 2.5% for Canadian mutual funds—while eliminating trading commissions to make investing more affordable and transparent for novice and cost-conscious users. This approach quickly appealed to a demographic frustrated with opaque fees and complex processes in traditional wealth management, positioning Wealthsimple as Canada's first major robo-advisor. Early growth was supported by strategic funding rounds that provided the capital needed to scale operations. In May 2014, shortly before the official launch, Wealthsimple secured a $2 million seed round from 15 Toronto-based investors, including Impression Ventures and individuals like David Ossip and Dan Debow, raised in just 2.5 weeks to accelerate product development. This was followed in April 2015 by a $30 million Series A investment led by Power Financial Corporation, one of the largest such rounds in Canadian history at the time, bringing total early funding to approximately C$32 million and enabling rapid client acquisition in the pre-2016 period.

Key acquisitions

Wealthsimple's inaugural significant acquisition occurred in December 2015, when it purchased Canadian ShareOwner Investments Inc., a discount brokerage and automated investment manager known for its low-cost exchange-traded fund (ETF) portfolios and advisory services. This deal granted Wealthsimple access to ShareOwner's established brokerage infrastructure and expertise in ETF-based portfolio construction, enabling the expansion of its offerings beyond basic robo-advisory into full-service investing. The integration of ShareOwner's ETF selection algorithms into Wealthsimple's core managed portfolios enhanced the platform's algorithmic efficiency and diversification strategies, contributing to more robust, low-fee investment options for clients. In a strategic pivot toward its primary retail audience, Wealthsimple divested its Wealthsimple for Advisors subsidiary—a platform tailored for financial advisors—in January 2020 to Purpose Advisor Solutions, a provider of turnkey wealth management tools. The transaction, completed in September 2020, allowed Wealthsimple to streamline operations and refocus resources on direct-to-consumer services, while Purpose integrated the technology to bolster its advisor-facing solutions. This divestiture underscored Wealthsimple's commitment to retail innovation amid growing competition in the B2B advisory space. In September 2019, Wealthsimple acquired SimpleTax, a Canadian tax software company, integrating automated tax filing capabilities into its platform to simplify returns for users. Advancing its emphasis on specialized financial tools, Wealthsimple executed an acquihire of Plenty in April 2025, absorbing the San Francisco-based startup's team and its platform dedicated to couple-focused wealth management. Plenty's technology, which facilitated joint budgeting, goal-setting, and investment planning for partners, was incorporated to enrich Wealthsimple's offerings with collaborative features, addressing the unique needs of shared household finances. This move exemplified Wealthsimple's approach to talent acquisition, bringing in fintech expertise to accelerate product development in family-oriented planning without extensive internal R&D. Collectively, these transactions reflect Wealthsimple's broader acquisition strategy, which prioritizes acquiring specialized talent and compliant infrastructure to diversify products efficiently while minimizing research and development expenditures. By leveraging ShareOwner for regulatory brokerage capabilities and Plenty for innovative user-centric tools, the company has fortified its technological foundation and market positioning in retail fintech.

Product expansion and growth

Following its initial launch as a robo-advisor in 2014, Wealthsimple began expanding its product suite in 2016 to address broader financial needs, introducing features like socially responsible investing options and premium advisory tiers for higher balances, including Wealthsimple Black in January 2017. This pivot marked the company's shift toward a more comprehensive platform, though self-directed trading via Wealthsimple Trade was not rolled out until March 2019, enabling commission-free stock and ETF trading. Initial cryptocurrency offerings followed in September 2020, allowing users to buy and sell select digital assets directly within the app. In January 2020, Wealthsimple entered the banking sector with the introduction of no-fee chequing accounts and high-interest savings through Wealthsimple Cash, which offered competitive interest rates and instant transfers. This expansion aimed to integrate everyday banking with investment services, attracting users seeking an all-in-one financial app. By late 2019, the company had approximately 175,000 clients, reflecting rapid adoption amid its diversification efforts. Between 2021 and 2023, Wealthsimple enhanced its cryptocurrency platform, expanding offerings and adding staking features in October 2022 after regulatory approval, while navigating scrutiny from Canadian securities regulators over crypto volatility disclosures. Crypto trading expanded significantly, reaching over 100 assets by 2025. These developments solidified its position as a full-service fintech, though banking expansions faced challenges from federal regulations on deposit insurance and anti-money laundering compliance, including OSFI approvals for expanded deposit products. From 2024 to 2025, Wealthsimple accelerated growth with the rollout of mortgages in May 2024, partnering with Pine for streamlined home financing applications within the app, and a cashback credit card announced in June 2025 offering 2% rewards on purchases, with rollout beginning later that year. Advanced tools followed, including full options trading access in late 2025 and the Summit portfolio tier announced in October 2025 for ultra-high-net-worth individuals with customized private market investments. In October 2025, Wealthsimple announced a $750 million equity round valuing the company at C$10 billion. The company achieved profitability in 2024, reporting positive adjusted EBITDA, and maintained a primary focus on the Canadian market despite exploratory international considerations. Regulatory hurdles persisted, particularly in crypto with ongoing IIROC oversight.

Products and services

Managed investing

Wealthsimple's managed investing service, known as Wealthsimple Invest, provides automated portfolio management for passive investors through a robo-advisor platform. It constructs diversified portfolios using low-fee exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that allocate assets across stocks, bonds, and alternatives based on an individual's risk tolerance and financial goals. Portfolios are available in various risk levels, from conservative (emphasizing bonds for stability) to growth-oriented (favoring equities for higher potential returns), ensuring broad exposure to global markets and geographies. The fee structure for managed investing starts at 0.5% annually for the Core plan, which has no account minimum and suits most investors, while Premium (0.4% for assets over C$100,000) and Generation (0.2–0.4% for assets over C$500,000) tiers offer reduced fees along with enhanced services. Specialized options include socially responsible investing (SRI) portfolios that prioritize companies with strong environmental, social, and governance (ESG) practices, and Halal portfolios compliant with Islamic principles, avoiding sectors like alcohol and interest-based finance while using Shariah-approved ETFs and stocks. These portfolios maintain the same automated approach but tailor holdings to ethical or religious preferences. Key features include automatic rebalancing to realign asset allocations with target risk levels following market fluctuations, deposits, or withdrawals, as well as dividend reinvestment to support compounding growth. Tax-loss harvesting is available in non-registered accounts for Premium and Generation clients, systematically selling underperforming assets to offset capital gains taxes while reinvesting in similar securities to maintain market exposure. Goal-based planning tools allow users to set objectives like retirement or home purchase, with the platform adjusting portfolios accordingly for a hands-off experience. Performance in managed portfolios closely tracks underlying market indices, with historical annualized returns varying by risk level—for instance, conservative portfolios around 4–5% and growth portfolios up to 8–10% since inception in 2016—emphasizing long-term compounding over short-term gains. Wealthsimple's approach contrasts with traditional mutual funds, which often charge over 2% annually, allowing investors in its portfolios to retain more returns for compounding over time.

Self-directed trading

Wealthsimple Trade is the company's self-directed investing platform, enabling users to independently buy and sell securities without advisory input. Launched to empower active investors, it provides access to a wide range of assets, including stocks, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and options, across major Canadian and U.S. exchanges such as the TSX, NYSE, NASDAQ, NEO, and CSE. The platform supports zero-commission trading on over 14,000 stocks and ETFs, allowing users to execute trades autonomously on web and mobile interfaces. In September 2025, round-the-clock trading was introduced for select assets. Available account types include Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs), Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs), and non-registered personal accounts, with options for USD-denominated accounts to facilitate U.S. trading. Key features encompass real-time fractional share trading for stocks and ETFs, enabling investments starting from as little as $1, and extended-hours trading from Sunday 8:00 p.m. to Friday 8:00 p.m. ET for eligible U.S. securities. Options trading is commission-free with no contract fees, supporting strategies such as covered calls, secured puts, vertical spreads, and calendar spreads, primarily on margin or registered accounts. Fees are structured to minimize costs for users, with no commissions on stock, ETF, or options trades and no inactivity fees. Currency conversion incurs a 1.5% fee for CAD accounts trading U.S. securities, though USD accounts eliminate this for U.S.-listed trades (with tiered rates starting at 1.5% for balances under $10,000). While no explicit regulatory fees are charged by Wealthsimple, standard exchange and clearing fees may apply as passed through from regulators. In 2025, Wealthsimple introduced enhancements tailored for experienced traders, including advanced options strategies such as secured puts (available November 2025), short iron condors, short iron butterflies, long butterflies, and long condors (rolling out late 2025 to early 2026). An AI-powered research and trading dashboard, announced for rollout in Q4 2025, offering real-time data, natural language queries for stock analysis, market driver summaries, and performance pattern charting tools. The platform appeals to do-it-yourself (DIY) investors seeking control over their portfolios, complemented by educational resources covering market basics, such as investing fundamentals, diversification strategies, and options education through articles, guides, and the help center.

Cryptocurrency trading

Wealthsimple Crypto is a regulated platform offered by Wealthsimple Investments Inc. that enables Canadian clients to buy, sell, hold, stake, deposit, and withdraw over 140 cryptocurrencies, including major assets like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Solana (SOL). Launched as Canada's first regulated crypto trading service, it operates exclusively through non-registered accounts and emphasizes user-friendly access to digital assets via the Wealthsimple mobile app and web platform. The service supports staking for select proof-of-stake cryptocurrencies such as ETH, SOL, Cardano (ADA), and Polkadot (DOT), allowing users to earn rewards by delegating assets to network validators, though rewards are not guaranteed and subject to network conditions. Trading on Wealthsimple Crypto follows a commission-free model with tiered spread-based fees ranging from 0.05% to 2%, determined by the client's status (Core, Premium, or Generation) and 30-day trading volume in CAD equivalents. For example, Core clients pay 2% on trades under $1,000, dropping to 0.5% for volumes between $100,000 and $499,999, while Generation clients benefit from lower baseline rates starting at 0.5%. Users can place market or limit orders at any time, with trades executed in CAD or USD to minimize foreign exchange costs, and swaps between cryptocurrencies are also available without additional commissions beyond the spread. Staking incurs a fee of 30% for Core and Premium clients or 15% for Generation clients on earned rewards, plus blockchain network fees estimated by the platform. Security is a core focus, with the majority of client assets stored in offline cold storage by regulated custodial partners to mitigate hacking risks, and the remainder in insured hot wallets. Custodial partners maintain over $75 million in insurance coverage for cold storage against theft or hacks, supplemented by Coincover insurance for hot wallets, though assets are not protected by the Canadian Investor Protection Fund (CIPF) or Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC). As a member of the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO), Wealthsimple Crypto complies with Canadian securities regulations for crypto asset trading, including best execution policies and segregation of client assets from operational funds. In 2025, Wealthsimple enhanced its crypto offerings by introducing dedicated USD accounts, enabling seamless transfers of funds between crypto, self-directed investing, and savings accounts without FX fees, which supports hybrid portfolios combining digital assets with traditional investments. Fee tiers were also reduced effective October 2025 to improve competitiveness, alongside expanded listings reaching over 140 coins from previous levels around 100. The platform provides prominent warnings about cryptocurrency risks, including extreme price volatility driven by market sentiment, regulatory changes, and geopolitical factors, which can lead to total loss of principal. Additional hazards encompass illiquidity, cybersecurity threats like key loss or exchange hacks, and staking-specific issues such as slashing penalties or lock-up periods. Educational resources in the Wealthsimple Help Centre cover trading mechanics, asset statements, and foundational blockchain concepts, such as decentralized ledgers, cryptographic verification, and proof-of-stake validation processes, to promote informed decision-making.

Banking and payments

Wealthsimple offers a suite of banking and payment products designed for everyday financial management, emphasizing no-fee structures, digital accessibility, and integration with its broader investment platform. These include chequing accounts, high-interest savings options, a cash back credit card, and mortgage services through strategic partnerships, all aimed at providing competitive alternatives to traditional Canadian banks. In October 2025, enhancements to chequing included mobile cheque deposits and international money transfers. The Wealthsimple chequing account operates without monthly fees, foreign exchange fees, ATM fees (with reimbursement up to $5 per transaction), or Interac e-Transfer fees, making it suitable for daily transactions. It earns interest on balances at tiered rates: 1.25% for balances under $100,000, 1.75% for $100,000 to $500,000, and up to 2.25% for $500,000 or more in total assets with Wealthsimple, with an additional 0.5% boost for qualifying Core or Premium clients maintaining $2,000+ in monthly direct deposits. Key features include instant Interac e-Transfers up to $25,000 per day for eligible users, bill payment scheduling with payee import and completion notifications, and seamless transfers to investment accounts. Accounts are insured up to $1 million by the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation (CDIC). Complementing the chequing account, Wealthsimple provides high-interest savings options, including a managed High-Interest Savings Portfolio (HISP) that yields 2.50% interest as of November 2025 while minimizing market volatility through low-risk holdings. These savings accounts can be opened within registered structures like Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs) or First Home Savings Accounts (FHSAs), earning up to 2.25% in a high-interest format linked directly to users' investment portfolios for easy fund allocation and automated transfers. A USD savings account offers similar benefits at up to 3.5% interest, with no minimums or monthly fees, facilitating cross-border savings integration. In June 2025, Wealthsimple launched its Visa Infinite credit card, available exclusively to clients with an active chequing account, offering unlimited 2% cash back on all eligible net purchases without category restrictions or caps. The card features no foreign transaction fees and waives the $10 monthly fee (equivalent to $120 annually) for users with $100,000+ in assets or those setting up qualifying direct deposits of $4,000+ monthly into their chequing account; otherwise, the fee applies. Payments are processed directly from the linked chequing account, and additional perks include purchase protection, extended warranties, and mobile device insurance. Wealthsimple entered the mortgage market in May 2024 through a partnership with digital lender Pine, enabling fully online applications without paperwork or branch visits. Users receive personalized rates in minutes—such as 3.84% for a 5-year fixed insured mortgage or 3.55% for a 5-year variable insured option as of late 2025—with commitment letters issued within 48 hours and dedicated agent support for streamlined approvals. Cash back rebates of up to $3,000 are available based on client tier and mortgage size (e.g., $500 for Core clients on a $100,000 mortgage), and the service is offered in most Canadian provinces excluding Quebec and the territories. To enhance interoperability, Wealthsimple has pursued partnerships and regulatory alignments, including membership in Payments Canada since 2024 for direct access to core banking systems like Interac e-Transfer, and integration with Wise for international transfers. The company supports Canada's emerging open banking framework, which is expected to enable secure data sharing and expanded connectivity with other financial institutions once fully implemented, allowing for more seamless cross-bank transactions and account management.

Tax and financial planning

Wealthsimple Tax provides free filing for simple personal returns, allowing users to prepare and submit up to two returns at no cost through a pay-what-you-want model. The software is certified by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) and NETFILE-approved for electronic submission of tax returns for the years 2020 through 2024. It includes an optimizer that automatically searches over 400 credits and deductions to maximize refunds, such as suggesting optimal RRSP contribution claims or carrying forward contributions when no immediate tax benefit exists. The platform integrates directly with Wealthsimple accounts to auto-import investment data, facilitating accurate reporting of capital gains and losses. This includes seamless import of cryptocurrency transactions from external wallets or exchanges via partnerships like Koinly, enabling users to calculate and report gains or losses without manual entry. Wealthsimple offers financial planning tools accessible through its app, including goal trackers that monitor progress toward objectives like retirement savings, displaying real-time account values, contributions, and fees. Users can generate retirement projections by setting savings targets and withdrawal strategies, with visualizations of potential outcomes to support long-term planning. Dedicated advisor access is available to clients in Premium and Generation plans, providing personalized sessions, quarterly portfolio reviews, and annual financial plan updates to align investments with holistic goals. In March 2025, Wealthsimple introduced a guided tax-filing assistant that creates customized templates based on user needs to optimize refunds and simplify the process. By October 2025, the company launched automated tax-loss harvesting for eligible accounts, allowing proactive management of capital gains to minimize tax liabilities. For small businesses and self-employed users, Wealthsimple Tax supports reporting of business income via Form T2125, including deductions for expenses and rental properties. The Wealthsimple for Business platform integrates with popular HR and payroll systems like Rippling and BambooHR to streamline employee savings contributions, though it does not offer standalone payroll processing or direct expense tracking. Data from linked chequing accounts can inform deduction claims during tax filing.

Operations

Assets under administration and client base

As of October 2025, Wealthsimple's assets under administration (AUA) reached C$100 billion, marking a significant milestone for the company. This figure represents growth from C$84 billion reported at the end of the second quarter of 2025, which itself reflected a 93.8% increase year-over-year. The surge underscores Wealthsimple's position as a dominant player in Canada's digital wealth management space, driven by inflows into its self-directed trading and managed investing products amid favorable market conditions. Wealthsimple's client base exceeds 3 million users as of September 2025, predominantly comprising Canadian millennials and Generation Z individuals. In late August 2025, a security breach via a third-party vendor compromised personal data, including Social Insurance Numbers, for fewer than 30,000 clients (less than 1% of total); no financial assets were accessed, and affected users were notified. Approximately 50% of its clients are under the age of 35, with over one-third aged 18 to 24, reflecting the platform's appeal to younger demographics seeking accessible, low-cost financial tools. This user growth aligns with broader trends in digital adoption among tech-savvy younger Canadians, who represent about 5% of the adult population using Wealthsimple's services in 2025, up from less than 3% in 2021. Key drivers of this expansion include product diversification, such as the introduction of advanced trading tools, gold trading options, and integrated banking features, which have broadened appeal beyond basic investing. Additionally, targeted marketing campaigns emphasizing financial literacy—through initiatives like the Wealthsimple Foundation's youth-focused programs and sponsorships—have enhanced user engagement and acquisition among underserved younger cohorts. Wealthsimple holds a leading position as Canada's premier digital investment platform, bolstered by high satisfaction scores among do-it-yourself investors. Client retention remains strong, supported by the platform's integrated ecosystem that combines investing, banking, and tax services, resulting in elevated average client lifetime value compared to traditional acquisition channels.

Funding and ownership

Wealthsimple has raised over C$1.4 billion in equity funding across multiple rounds since its founding in 2014. The company's initial Series A round in April 2015 secured C$30 million from Power Financial Corporation, marking the start of significant backing from the Power Corporation group. Subsequent investments from this group totaled C$165 million by early 2018, supporting product development and market expansion. In May 2021, Wealthsimple completed a C$750 million Series D round at a post-money valuation of C$5 billion, co-led by Meritech Capital Partners and Greylock Partners, which facilitated key acquisitions and broadened its service offerings. The most recent funding came in October 2025 with a C$750 million Series F round, achieving a post-money valuation of C$10 billion—doubling the 2021 figure and reflecting robust growth amid rising assets under administration. This round, comprising C$550 million in primary capital and up to C$200 million in secondary shares, was co-led by GIC and Dragoneer Investment Group, with participation from existing investors including CPP Investments and Alkeon Capital. Valuation milestones underscore Wealthsimple's trajectory, from early-stage investments in the tens of millions to a decacorn status by 2025, driven by investor confidence in its integrated financial platform. Power Corporation of Canada maintains majority indirect ownership of Wealthsimple through its subsidiaries, including IGM Financial. Other prominent investors include CPP Investments, Alkeon Capital, GIC, and Dragoneer, contributing to a diversified ownership structure that supports long-term stability. Wealthsimple achieved profitability in 2024 for the first time and has sustained it through 2025, with revenue streams primarily from asset management fees, interest on cash balances, and premium services.

Leadership and corporate structure

Wealthsimple is led by co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Michael Katchen, who established the company in 2014 with a vision to democratize access to financial services through technology. Prior to launching Wealthsimple, Katchen gained experience in management consulting at McKinsey & Company, where he advised financial institutions on strategy, and later engaged with the tech ecosystem in Silicon Valley, collaborating with entrepreneurs in the sector. Under his leadership, the company has expanded into a comprehensive fintech platform serving millions of clients. The executive team includes key figures driving operations and innovation. Radhika Kakkar serves as Chief Operating Officer, overseeing strategy, customer success, and operational efficiency, bringing over two decades of experience from roles at companies like Snap Inc. Jeff Gowen is the Chief Financial Officer, managing financial planning and reporting following recent expansions. Diederik van Liere, as Chief Technology Officer, leads efforts in fintech innovation, focusing on scalable platforms for investing, trading, and payments. Other senior leaders include Paul Teshima as Chief Commercial Officer, responsible for growth initiatives, and Diana McLachlan as Chief People Officer, handling talent and organizational development. The board of directors comprises representatives from major investors and independent experts in finance and technology. Paul Desmarais III, Chairman and CEO of Sagard Holdings (a Power Corporation affiliate), chairs the board, reflecting the influence of Power Corporation's ownership on strategic decisions. Other members include co-founders Michael Katchen and Brett Huneycutt (Chief Product Officer); Som Seif, Founder and CEO of Purpose Investments; Patrick Pichette, former Google CFO and Partner at Inovia Capital; Amy Bohutinsky, Partner at TCV and ex-Zillow executive; Max Motschwiller, General Partner at Meritech Capital; James O’Sullivan, President and CEO of IGM Financial; Rhonda Goldberg, Executive VP and General Counsel at IGM Financial; and Natalie Wolfsen, CEO of Orion Advisor Solutions. This composition blends financial expertise with tech innovation to guide Wealthsimple's growth. Wealthsimple maintains a corporate structure centered in Toronto, Canada, with its headquarters at 80 Spadina Avenue. As of 2025, the company employs approximately 1,700 people, supporting a remote-first culture that offers hybrid work options and flexibility, including up to 90 days of international work per year for eligible employees. The organization emphasizes trust and transparency in its operations, as evidenced by regular all-hands meetings and open communication practices. Diversity and inclusion are core priorities, with initiatives targeting representation goals such as 3.5% Black leaders in executive and board roles by 2025, alongside programs to enhance women's leadership. Additionally, the Wealthsimple Foundation runs financial education efforts, including online resources, in-person events, and partnerships like the Introduction to Personal Finance course for Black, Indigenous, and racialized youth, aimed at building financial literacy among underserved communities.
