Built by Aussie investors, for Aussie investors
Invest smarter — and feel confident doing it.
MatesInvest is a social investing companion for everyday Aussies. Link your existing broker, see your portfolio alongside your mates, and cut through the ASX noise with clear, human explanations instead of jargon and hype.
In private beta now. No trading, no “hot tips” — just context, education, and tools to help you feel on top of your investing.
We want investing to feel normal, not taboo.
In Australia, money and investing can still feel a bit awkward. A lot of people want to invest but don't know where to start, don't have time to research everything, or feel like they're the only one who doesn't “get it”.
MatesInvest is here to bridge that gap — to make investing feel normal, social and approachable, and to give retail investors tools and context that usually live behind professional platforms.
- Help first-time and time-poor investors build confidence, not FOMO.
- Turn group chats and DMs into organised, trackable ideas.
- Make it safe to ask “dumb” questions with people you trust.
- Bridge the gap between education, news and the portfolio you actually hold.
One place for your portfolio, news and mates.
We don't replace your broker. We sit alongside it — helping you and your mates understand what's going on, why it matters, and how it connects to the holdings you already have.
1. Connect your existing broker
Link your ASX account through trusted data partners so you can see your real holdings in one simple view. No new brokerage account, no messy CSV uploads.
2. Get a clear, no-nonsense brief
Each morning we pull together market moves, sectors, commodities and key stories into a short email and in-app view — all in plain English, with zero jargon.
3. See how it hits your portfolio
We connect the dots for you: which holdings are tied to that move in iron ore, how a rate decision might flow through your banks, and where volatility could show up.
4. Learn and decide with your mates
Share ideas, compare watchlists and talk through decisions in a space designed for honest conversation — not anonymous forums or FOMO-driven hype.
Your data, your control.
MatesInvest is being built with privacy and security baked in from day one. We don't want your password. We don't sell your data. And we're careful about which partners we work with.
- Bank-grade encryption for all connections and sensitive data.
- Read-only portfolio connections — no one can place trades on your behalf.
- We aim to work with regulated data providers for broker connections, rather than building our own risky integrations.
- Clear, human-readable explanations of how your data is used.
Built for trust, not trading volume.
Our incentives are simple: if MatesInvest helps you feel more confident about your investing, you'll keep using it and tell your mates. That matters more to us than pushing you to trade more often.
Fair, transparent and built for retail investors.
During our early beta, MatesInvest is free while we learn with our first users and shape the product together.

Questions investors are asking us.
Is MatesInvest a broker?
No. We don't hold your money and we don't execute trades. We sit alongside your existing broker to give you context, education and better visibility over what you already own.
Will you tell me what to buy?
No hot tips here. We highlight trends, sectors and news, and help you see how they might relate to your holdings, but investment decisions are always yours.
