To make your first investment, you’ll need to create an account with an investment app platform that offers the shares, ETFs, and funds you want. Here are investing apps and platforms we recommend:
Tiger Brokers for beginner NZ investors: ETFs and individual shares.
Hatch for beginner NZ investors: ETFs and individual shares.
InvestNow for beginner NZ investors: ETFs and Managed Funds.
eToro for beginner and intermediate NZ & UK/Europe investors: For foreign ETFs and individual shares.
Trading 212 for advanced NZ & UK/Europe investors: Stocks, ETFs, CFDs, and forex.
IBKR for advanced NZ traders: Stocks, ETFs, CFDs, and forex.
You should evaluate investment app platforms based on factors such as costs, investment selection, investor research, analysis tools and 24/7 customer service access. All investment apps will require a proof of your identity, proof of address and complete a short questionnaire.
