Testimonials
Helping families build wealth for 5,000+ children and growing
What I love is that investing for my daughter is incredibly simple. I've set up an account in her name but with my TFN. I've shared the details with family and friends, so if they contribute, it goes directly into her account.

It's as simple as depositing into the kids' Pearler account - it does the rest! No calculating what the share price and brokerage fee is to determine which share to buy or how many of them - it's so easy!
Shane Bryer
Age 43, QLD
Growing up with a single mum, money was on our minds a lot. I knew that I wanted to make sure my daughter never has to worry (or worry a little less). I started investing for her via Pearler when she was 2, letting compounding work its magic!
