We’ll join the call at 8PM, and we usually wait until a couple of minutes after 8 PM for everyone to join.

We’ll run until 9 PM.

I have three main questions.

  1. My ETFs are diversified globally. I would love to see another graph in the insights tab for geographical diversification, as well as your existing graphs for asset and sector. This is really important to me as will help me to keep my geo-weighting on target. Do you think this could be implemented soon?

  2. Regarding fractional shares, I appreciate fractional US shares are a great start, but can we hope to see fractional shares across the board globally? If so how far down the line?

  3. Also I would like to set my partner up with an account, she’s Dutch. I see there are plans to launch in the Netherlands, roughly when can we expect this?

@Jamescook1043

If she is a UK resident she can do it right now in this instant I believe.You don’t have to wait for the AMA. Just send her an invite so both of you can get a free share. Don’t have an invite? Ask for one in the in-app chat. I’m sure they’ll be happy to assist you with the request.

If she’s a Netherlands resident all I can say is please be patient

Hope this helps.

Will we ever be able to invest in shares from stock exchanges in countries like China, India, Nigeria and Ethiopia? I’d love to get in to some of those developing markets.

Just a quick one if you get chance, how are you effected by COVID? remote working, increased signs ups…

  1. Is there a plan or willingness to re-prioritise some of the features on your roadmap based on your larger customer base (changes in demand) and external factors like the delay of the Robinhood launch?

  2. Will we have the ability to purchase shares by ‘number of shares’ rather than the investment amount

  3. Will we see more of a presence in the media? e.g. youtube, television

  4. Can we get more transparency about upcoming features, what is in development and where things have been parked or delayed?

  1. When will we see live pricing? The biggest frustration with the Freetrade experience for myself and many others I engage with is the delayed share pricing and its impact on share purchases. Potentially a very big win if this is addressed!

Can’t get in (kids haven’t gone to bed yet :expressionless:) . Have a good call.
Hopefully someone can write up the key points. Specifically over the answer to the 4 decimal places question :blush:
