We’re able to offer commission-free trades because we’ve built a low-cost, digital-first brokerage powered by technology. And executing trades actually costs very little for brokerages, so we don't think it's fair to charge our clients big trading commissions.

For our list of fees, including foreign exchange fees for USD trades, see here.

Choose from thousands of stocks and ETFs across the TSX, NYSE, NASDAQ, NEO and CSE. There are also limited securities available on the BATS Exchange.

We’ve extended our trading hours to give you even more flexibility when it comes to your portfolio. Now you can buy and sell stocks and ETFs during the following time frames:

• Pre-market trading hours: 7:00 am - 9:30 am EST
• Regular market trading hours: 9:30 am - 4:00 pm EST
• Post-market trading hours: 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm EST

And even though we can’t predict the market, our extended hours give you the convenience to trade within it on your own schedule. Currently, only a limited selection of US listed stocks and ETFs are available for trading during extended hours. You can browse eligible securities by searching for and selecting the “extended hours trading” category from the 'Discover' tab search bar in the Wealthsimple app.

Stock lending (sometimes called Fully Paid Securities Lending) is when you give your brokerage (that’s us) permission to loan your stocks to other investors with the goal of earning passive income. We find suitable borrowers who are looking for stocks you have, and take care of setting up the collateral on your loaned assets.

The interest rates and duration of the loan can vary depending on market demands. We’ll always keep you in the loop if there are any changes.

To start lending your stocks, all you need to do is opt in on your Self-directed Investing account agreement. One thing to note: lending is only available for TFSAs and Personal accounts.

To learn more about stock lending, check out this Help Centre article.

Dividend reinvestment is only available for stocks and ETFs that support fractional trading.

Just note that when you turn on dividend reinvestments, it applies to your entire account. For example, you can turn it on for your TFSA account, but not for individual stocks and ETFs within that account.
