Big idea: Buying an ETF is simpler than it sounds — and your first investment is a milestone worth celebrating.
Buying your first investment is almost as easy as buying shoes online.
Everyone has to make that very first buy — and once you do, you’ll feel a real rush.
It’s the moment your investing journey officially begins
The basic steps
- Choose your ETF
- Deposit money into your Pearler account
- Search the ETF’s ticker (like VAS, VGS, or VDHG — not suggestions, just examples!)
- Enter the amount you want to buy
- Submit your order
That’s it.
Once settled, you own a small piece of that entire basket.
Why should I care?
Because your first ETF purchase is your gateway into long-term investing — and often the hardest step.
Analysis paralysis can creep in, but once you place that first order, the fear fades and confidence grows.
You’ll realise:
“Oh… I can actually do this.”
From there, you’re well on your way to becoming a long-term investor.
