Australian Finance Podcast · How to invest with just $5 (micro-investing in Australia) · 2 Nov 2020 podcast

Yes.

Yeah.

And look, we've got, and everybody says they've got professionals at work.

We have an investment committee that has deliberately structured and spent a lot of time building these portfolios so that it does offer

you know, the sort of risk curve or the risk appetite that a customer will choose if they choose to go in it.

And as I said, we introduced the Emerald or the social responsible portfolio after launch due to our customers.

And then even, you know, crypto or Bitcoin came to the forefront and our customers said, hey, we have no idea about crypto, but can you give us some sort of exposure to it?

So the 22nd of May this year, we launched the Sapphire portfolio.

that it's made up of uh seven of those etfs but it also has a five percent allocation to to bitcoin just for that risk risk model yeah brendan it's really interesting obviously micro investing has a lot of appeal and

Yes.

A lot of people say, Owen, that, oh, it must be for the young people.

Yeah.

Look, the app in Australia is available to anyone over 18.

And we thought, looking at the playbook from the US business when we were working with them, or the Acorns business, that there'd be a lot of 18 to 23-year-olds.

But if not, it's more the 23 to 34, 35-year bracket.

And

We've been going now just on four and a half years and obviously the customers that have been with us, there's a lot of them that have been with us from the beginning, are getting older and moving up that cohort.

So it's sort of like just over 70% of our customers are under the age of 45.

But I've got an 86-year-old on it, I've got 18-year-olds on it.

It's really available for anybody because of the offering that we offer to customers.
