The Evolution of Investing: Is Micro Inv...

Equity Mates Media
About this episode

Micro investing is a clever way to Get Started Investing in the markets. 41% of our Equity Mates community currently use a micro investing platform.

In simple terms, micro investing is where a broker will pool investor money to buy one unit. In Australia you can micro invest with as little as 1cent.

Micro investing gives us the ability to invest in small amounts, it can automate and allow us to set & forget. But most of all it reduces the media and market 'noise' ... by limiting our choice and relive us from worrying about losing big chunks of money.

In today's conversation, Bryce and Alec discuss whether micro investing is 'a thing' anymore.
