As we usher in February 2025, EasyEquities is offering exciting opportunities to enhance your investment journey through the Thrive rewards program. Every month EasyEquities picks shares to be Thrive Stocks. These stocks will qualify for the Thrive Brokerage Benefit which is a level-dependent discount on your brokerage fees as you buy shares.
The Thrive Rewards program on EasyEquities is a loyalty initiative designed to reward investors for actively engaging with the platform. By performing key investment activities—such as funding accounts, contributing to tax-free savings accounts (TFSAs) or retirement annuities (RAs), and referring friends—users earn Thrive Levels that unlock benefits like discounted brokerage fees, bonus investment vouchers, and exclusive promotions. The higher your Thrive Level, the greater your rewards, making it an excellent way to maximize your returns while building long-term wealth.
February Thrive Stocks: US Market
You have to give it to the Thrive rewards program; it just feels like a product created for the investor. The fact that there are several ETFs here is welcoming to me, especially due to how safe ETFs are as long-term investments. While I was already looking to add the Vanguard S&P 500 to my portfolio this month, there’s more reason to do so now. Missing my targets on my Thrive activities in January was a bummer and so I am only getting 30% discounts this month.
J.P. Morgan has caught my eye as a potential future investment. Currently, the interest is largely driven by a couple of interviews with their CEO: Jamie Dimon. I’ll give it a bit more time and research.
February Thrive Stocks: South African Market
This one is hard for me to comment on. I have a non-South African account and can’t invest in the JSE. As a result, I wouldn’t even know what to recommend. Slight bias towards the Purple Group but it’s obvious why. Thank goodness I’m not a guru and this isn’t financial advice.
February Thrive Stocks: Australian Market
For the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) I have been playing it safe. I don’t really have the time to research business in Australia to a level of confidence. Instead, I have chosen to go with ETFs in the ASX. I’m a little bummed that the ASX 200 isn’t part of the February Thrive Stocks so I can’t take advantage and add more stocks at a discount.
Thank you for continuing to come along the ride as I learn the ropes of investing. I’am mainly focusing on investing in the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) from Africa.
