Simple is better
The Wealthsimple Workplace Savings Program is a registered account for whatever your plan members choose to save for. Powered by Wealthsimple’s advanced administration platform.
Drive excitement, not just engagement
Enrolment that makes sense
We don’t believe in asking plan members to choose investments. We ask what they’re saving for and how they feel about risk in simple, plain language. Then we build them a portfolio of exchange-traded funds that evolves as they get closer to their goal.
A next-level plan member experience
Take advantage of the industry’s most advanced customer experience technology and best-in-class educational materials, both proven to drive action among Canadian consumers.
We get money right
Easy enrolment
The member-friendly, fully digital process determines each plan member’s risk tolerance: Growth, Balanced or Conservative. No more default fund.
Low fees
Most members pay a management fee below 1%, thanks to our portfolio of exchange-traded funds.
The works
Members enjoy an intuitively designed integration of their group and retail holdings that includes free tax-filing functionality. Our financial wellness materials are the best in Canada.
Diversity plus
Once a member’s risk tolerance is determined, they can choose from three themes: Standard, Socially Responsible and Halal.
Real people, real help
Professional advisors are available to members, to talk about their savings in terms they can understand.

Once you’ve decided on Wealthsimple as your partner for Group Savings Plan services, we send over an agreement via Docusign. Once that’s signed, your admin team will go through a comprehensive training session. Our team will walk you through the platform, teaching you how to set up, access and update employee information. As soon as you’re comfortable using the platform, we’ll invite the rest of your organization to join your Wealthsimple Workplace Savings Program.
If any of your employees are already Wealthsimple clients, they can connect their new group plan to an existing account. For those new to Wealthsimple, they’ll be invited to answer a brief questionnaire (less than 10 minutes) to best assess which portfolio matches their needs.
Based on each member’s enrolment questionnaire, they will have been placed into a portfolio type based on their risk tolerance level (Growth, Balanced or Conservative) and preferred theme (Standard, Socially Responsible or Halal). You can view the performance history of these portfolios below.
Standard Portfolio Performance: Growth, Balanced, Conservative
SRI Portfolio Performances: Growth, Balanced, Conservative
