And making sure that information around investing was really easy to understand so you could feel informed and feel confident in that decision and your investments.
I think another important part is removing those price barriers when it comes to investing.
And you'll see, like, even the way that we price things, we make sure that it's like, it scales with how much you're investing rather than some kind of flat fees and stuff where that might not work for people who are wanting to learn as they go.
That's been important to us too.
We have, we build out a lot of, I guess what you'd call educational content, but just breaking down key concepts, say like dollar cost averaging.
What is that?
You know, we'll have a video on that.
We'll have a blog.
We'll make sure that's really clear.
And when people are joining Sharesies,
You know, they really get the philosophy behind it, which is time in the market, not timing the market, building a portfolio one page at a time with amounts you can afford and like building your confidence too.

I think this speaks to that, you know, Barry was talking about, about left out, you know, where a lot of people have felt left out of investing or left out of financial opportunities.
And so that is something we wanted to remove too, is that barrier.
And so we really work on making sure we are creating an inclusive platform where anyone can feel like they're an investor and can become an investor.
And so, yeah, on our platform, we are likely to have more females than other platforms.
I don't have all the other platform stats, but what I do know is the percentages from the country's perspective.
