Easy to use

Really love Wealthsimple. It's super easy to use and the user interface and experience is very intuitive.

Great for side income

I use Wealthsimple to manage a small portion of my overall investments. The fact that it's on autopilot makes it great from a time allocation perspective. I've seen a slow but steady growth with my investments over the last 2 years with them.
