"Managing our Fonterra shares on Sharesies means we can pull up the app at the kitchen table and see exactly where we stand. As farmers, there is so much out of our control—like the milk price and the weather—so it’s nice to know we can easily build assets outside the farm in a similar way to how we manage our FCG shares. It creates a buffer for us, and that’s important."
FAQs
Sharesies provides a simple, low-cost way to put your capital to work in a way that helps you diversify your asset portfolio. With Sharesies, you can choose from a range of managed funds you know and love—including local favorites like Milford, Smart, Pie Funds and Pathfinder—as well as thousands of companies across global exchanges like the NZX, ASX, Nasdaq, and NYSE. Whether you want to back NZ agriculture or global tech, you have the world’s markets at your fingertips.
Sharesies fees are highly competitive. Our brokerage fees are capped at $5 USD for US shares, $15 AUD for Australian shares, and $25 NZD for NZ shares for any order, no matter how large. Sharesies also offer plans with transaction fees covered up to a certain amount depending on the plan. Find out more about our fees here.
Unlike land, machinery, or herd equity (which can take months to sell) Sharesies offers much more fluidity with your capital. You can place a sell order at any time. Once the trade has settled (which generally takes two business days), you can withdraw the funds to your personal bank account if you want to.
Not at all. You can choose to be as hands-on as you like. Many of our clients prefer to set and forget by using our ‘Auto-Invest’ feature. This automatically funnels your funds into your chosen investment on a schedule that suits you, allowing you to focus on the farm while your off-farm legacy grows in the background.
We take security as seriously as you take your biosecurity. Sharesies is a New Zealand-based platform used by nearly a million people across Australasia. Your investments are held in a separate custodial account, meaning they are legally protected and separate from our business operations. We only collect and use personal information as set out in our Privacy Policy.

Sharesies works for all kinds of agribusiness. No matter what field you’re in, you can take control of your financial future here, managing your farm’s business investments and your personal wealth all in one place.
