Resources to get started as an 'unlikely' investor
If you’re wondering how to start investing, or what investing trends to watch in 2022, we’ve got you covered in our biggest partnership yet with Pedestrian Group.
Our partnership was borne from a mutual desire to bring the financial conversation to the masses. From Sharesies’ side, we’re on a mission to create financial empowerment for everyone. And for Pedestrian Group, their vast community of millions wanted to know more about investing and get support to kickstart their own journeys. It was a no-brainer for us to work together to bring this to life!
What’s included?
Our 8-part podcast series ‘Unlikely Investors’ features stories from Australian creatives and athletes about their own ‘unlikely’ investing journeys. To host, we’ve enlisted two of our fave podcasters—Lachlan Bradford and Robbie Hicks from the excellent Funny Business. They’re learning along with you as they kickstart their own investing journeys, de-jargoning investing terms and breaking down investing strategies as they go.
There’s also heaps more content across the different Pedestrian Group channels, which include Pedestrian.TV, Refinery29, VICE, Gizmodo, Lifehacker, Business Insider, and Kotaku. So whether you’re just starting out or a little further along your journey, there’s something for you—check it out below!
