Love trading but hate brokerage? Sign up to Stake

Updated: 16/11/2022

Stake makes investing simple, fun, interesting, worthwhile… Whatever other superlatives you can come up with. But aside from all that, they’ve done some sensational stuff in the accessibility of investing – for short or long term – by putting full access to the ASX and NYSE in your hands from anywhere in the world. And if that’s not enough, by offering insider access to news and research in the form of their paid subscription, Stake Black, the platform is turning around what it means to be financially savvy and plan for the future. In their latest movement, Stake’s offering Australian investors and those with an interest in the ASX, access again to free brokerage with a clever referral system. Simply encourage three more users to sign up and make a trade and you’ll knock off a dollar for each from every transaction. Previously considered impossible and getting to $0 brokerage on the ASX has been achieved thanks to a unique ‘three to free’ referral method, allowing customers to refer friends in exchange for discounted brokerage, with the opportunity to continue free brokerage indefinitely. For each person a customer refers, their brokerage drops by $1 for 1 year. That means just three referrals can get you to $0. Plus, referrals beyond the third are banked and kick-in once another has expired. So, customers can keep their fee-free ASX trading rolling. For more about Stake and to sign up, use this link

First time investors should be aware that there is some degree of risk with all investments, but by engaging the services of an investment strategist or financial advisor, together you can develop a solid investment plan to success. The key to good investment is education Many people think you need to be rich to invest, but the key to good investments is education.  One of the biggest mistakes new investors make is diving into the investment pool with little to no knowledge and without talking to a financial expert or investment strategist. Knowledge is power. Listen to podcasts, join online forums and read books on investments for beginners so you can feel more confident in your decisions. When you’re ready, connect with a financial advisor to customise a robust investment plan based on your personal circumstances. Methods of investment depend on your budget and long term goals There are a myriad of different ways you can invest your money—shares, bonds, property or even gold—but it all depends on… Read More
