There have been many jokes made about time since the pandemic began. How 2020 felt like “five years and five minutes at the same time,” how we have all aged “2020 years,” and so on. You get the joke. Is it really only a year and a half since this all started?
While time might have felt slow, some things have felt fast.
At the beginning of last year, Spaceship had 60,000 customers. Today, I’m excited to announce we have 200,000 customers (and counting!) — and, as I mentioned a few weeks back, more than $1 billion in funds under management.
While looking at the numbers is fun, what these numbers mean to us is that we’re achieving our mission of enabling young Australians to invest in their future.
Last year, around 435,000 Australians started investing. And 49% of those first-time investors were aged between 25 and 39, while a further 18% were under 25 years old.
We wouldn’t have achieved these milestones if it wasn’t for so many of those young Australians — so many of you — so we want to say a huge thank you for joining the Spaceship journey.
Today, we’re as passionate as ever to fulfil our mission. Tomorrow, it’ll be just the same. We’re so excited for what is to come — and believe me when I say some exciting things are arriving soon! — and we hope you are too.
