What is Spriggy Invest?

Spriggy Invest is an online investment platform available through the Spriggy app. It allows an adult to open and operate a Spriggy Invest account on behalf of a child under 18.

What does Spriggy Invest invest in?

Money invested through Spriggy Invest is placed into the Spriggy Growth Portfolio.

The Spriggy Growth Portfolio is a managed portfolio made up of exchange traded funds (ETFs). The ETFs and their target allocations are selected and managed by the Betashares Investment Committee.

The ETFs provide exposure to different investments, including Australian and global shares. The investments included in the portfolio and their allocations may change over time.

What is Betashares?

Betashares Capital Ltd is the responsible entity of the Betashares Invest Fund, which Spriggy Invest forms part of. Betashares operates the scheme, manages the Spriggy Growth Portfolio and carries out investment instructions submitted through Spriggy Invest.

What is Spriggy's role?

Spriggy distributes Spriggy Invest and provides access to investing through the Spriggy app.

Spriggy has been appointed as an authorised representative of Betashares for the financial services it provides in relation to Spriggy Invest.

Can I choose the individual ETFs?

No. Spriggy Invest provides access to the Spriggy Growth Portfolio. Betashares selects the ETFs in this managed portfolio and determines their target allocations.

What is fractional investing?

Fractional investing allows your account to hold an interest in part of a whole ETF unit. This means investments do not need to be made only in whole ETF units.

Fractional interests are allocated to your Spriggy Invest account, while the whole units are held by the scheme's custodian.
