About

Founded in 2014, Wealthsimple grew from a robo-advisor into Canada's largest independent money platform. In 2024 it recorded $25B of net new deposits β€” the first year it beat one of the big five banks on a major financial metric, as CEO Mike Katchen shared on the TechTO stage in April 2025. Assets have since more than doubled, reaching $155.6B by the end of Q2 2026 on roughly $17B of net inflows in that quarter alone.
