HIGHLIGHTS
Wealthsimple Trade is a self-directed platform, which allows DIY investors complete control over buying and selling the assets in their accounts. It’s different from Wealthsimple Invest, which has a portfolio manager to make the purchasing and selling decisions (so clients just “set it and forget it”).
The most popular Canadian stocks are available to trade on Wealthsimple Trade, but many of the less popular ones are unavailable. Wealthsimple Trade was the first Canadian online discount brokerage to start out as mobile-first. Accordingly, their clients tend to skew younger and be more tech-savvy and comfortable trading on the mobile platform.
Wealthsimple Trade seems to be modeling themselves after some of the more popular online discount brokerages in the United States by offering zero-commission trading and adding new features constantly, to continually strengthen the user experience. They also have been known to run attention-grabbing promotions, such as giving away free stock.
