Create a DIY order

  1. Log in to Sharesies.

  2. Head to Explore > Auto invest > DIY order.

  3. Search for and Add the investments you want to include in your order. You can choose from a range of NZ, Aussie, and US investments.

  4. Allocate a percentage to each investment. This determines how your money will be split between the investments in your order when it’s placed. Once the percentage totals 100%, select Next.

  5. Set the amount (the minimum is $5), frequency, and start date for your order.

  6. Personalise your order with a name and image, or skip this step.

  7. Read and accept the Product Disclosure Statements (PDS) for any funds you added to your order.

  8. Your auto-invest is now active!

  9. You can have up to three DIY auto-invest orders and one pre-made order set up at any one time. If you want to add another order, head to Explore > Auto invest and select the order you want to create.

Create a pre-made order

  1. Log in to Sharesies.

  2. Head to Explore > Auto invest.

  3. Choose between a Responsible, Global, or Kids (if you have a Kids Account) pre-made order. You can select each order to check which funds are included and read the order’s description.

  4. Select Auto-invest in this order.

  5. Set the amount (the minimum is $5), frequency, and start date for your order.

  6. Read and accept the Product Disclosure Statements (PDS) for each fund.

  7. Your auto-invest is now active!

  8. You can only have one pre-made order active at a time, but can add up to three additional DIY auto-invest orders. If you want to switch your pre-made order or set up a DIY order, head to Explore > Auto invest.

Once your order is active

You can pause, edit, switch, or delete your order at any time by heading to Portfolio > Activity and selecting the order you want to manage.

You’ll need to make sure you have enough money in your Sharesies Wallet by 11 AM (NZDT) on the trading weekday your auto-invest order is due to be taken out. We recommend setting up an automatic payment from your bank account to land in your Wallet the day before.

Auto-invest orders are processed in the local currency of each investment. If you don’t hold enough of an investment’s local currency, we’ll try to exchange money using any New Zealand dollars you hold.

Fees apply to auto-invest orders.
