Thinking About Investing? Here’s How You Can Easily Get Started

Become a stock market Superhero.

This article is presented in partnership with Superhero.

As you get older and earn more money, you’ll begin to lean towards investing that money to—well, make more money.

The hard part though is knowing where to start. With so many services out there (as well as a truckload of acronyms) it can be easier to just give up. Don’t!

Here’s how you can easily get started.

Find a share trading app you like.

The first thing you need to do is find a share trading app that you like. There’s nothing worse than using an app that is buggy, not user friendly or just doesn’t look good.

Superhero is our preferred share trading platform. It’s easy to use, super clean and has none of the jargon that other apps expect you to know.

Invest in global stock markets.

What you want to look for is a platform that offers global markets. Sure, it’s cool to be able to invest in the Australian stock exchange, but the big fish swim in the US stock exchange.

Superhero offers both Australian and US share markets, so you can dabble in some Aussie companies like AfterPay and Telstra while also investing in Tesla and Apple.

Look for low fees.

Share platforms and apps may look cheap to use, but oftentimes there’ll be hidden fees that they didn’t mention. Some platforms charge $20 brokerage on trades—not cool.

Superhero offers $0 brokerage on EFTs, $0 brockerage on US trades and only $5 for trades on the Aussie market. Plus, no monthly account fees. That’s what you want to look for.

Start trading in minutes.

When it comes to trading, the last thing you want is to be waiting days for approval before you can start investing. By the time you get confirmed, the price of shares may have gone up and you’ve missed the boat.

With Superhero, you can start trading in minutes. Just join for free, put money into your account and start browsing the share markets.

And there you have it, that’s how easy it is to start investing in shares.

Superhero is available to download on the App Store and the Google Play store for free.
