HOW WE INVEST

· Diversification ·
Instead of trying to pick individual stocks, Acorns diversifies your investment across hundreds of the most widely held Australian and international companies, corporate bonds, government bonds, and cash.

· Automatic Rebalancing ·
Acorns automatically rebalances your portfolio to mitigate risk and optimize returns. This means we keep your account in a target mix of stocks and bonds by buying more when they are cheaper and less when they are more expensive. Buy low, sell high.

“The app makes investing effortless” - Forbes [1]

“If you set aside just $5 every couple of days, you would have set aside over a $1000 in a year.” - ABC World News Tonight [2]

“You can get started in minutes and use it to create a reasonably well-designed portfolio that allows you to add as little as $5 at a time.” - The New York Times [3]

"This could prove to be an inexpensive way of introducing young people to the world of investing at ages for which compound interest can become a powerful tool." -Bloomberg Businessweek [4]

"With Acorns, there are no minimums. There are also none of the commissions that can render investing in small doses prohibitively expensive." -TIME [5]
