We were named 2026 CIX Innovator of the Year! 🏆 When we started, the financial system wasn't built for everyone. It was complicated, expensive, and frankly, intimidating. We set out to change that and give Canadians access to simple and seamless financial tools. We've got a lot in the works for 2026, and we can't wait to show you what's next. Our CEO, Michael Katchen will be speaking at Elevate's CIX Summit this year. Are you attending?

Phishing emails used to give themselves away. Bad grammar, weird formatting, and misspelled words made them easier to spot. But that’s no longer the case.
 Scams are more sophisticated, believable, and widespread than ever before. In 2025, Canadians lost at least $544 million to financial fraud. Across the industry, we’re seeing trusted brands be impersonated, including our own, asking for urgent payment and personal information.

 Remember, we will never: • Ask you to share your password or two-factor authentication code • Request personal info or money through social media or messaging apps • Recommend specific stocks, securities, or cryptocurrencies • Ask you to transfer funds using crypto or digital assets • Call you to move crypto to an external wallet Fraudsters are sophisticated, but so are we.

What makes this deal so unreal? It’s totally real.

Investing is fundamentally about the future. A statement about what we think the world will be like. That’s why people say “markets price in expectations.” And there's never been a moment where the future seems weirder and closer than it does right now. There is no shortage of legitimate visions: doomers, abundance bros, tech optimists, crypto maximalists, perma-bulls. We hired the award-winning documentary essayist John Wilson to investigate what all those visions might be. Because whatever you think is going to happen in the future, you can invest in it at Wealthsimple.

It’s showbiz, baby 🎬 Here’s to more work — and more play — in 2026!
