Welcome to the end of 2020 — we made it (phew)!
It’s been an unforgettable year, with so many ups and downs you could get dizzy. For us here at Spaceship, it’s been a particularly thrilling year, so what better time than now, in our last newsletter of the year, to look back at the latest launches and landings, not to mention a few of the bigger or more interesting moments that have taken place in 2020?
We launched a new portfolio
Last month, we launched our latest Spaceship Voyager managed fund: the Spaceship Earth Portfolio. The portfolio invests in 38 companies that have a positive impact on people and the planet — in areas such as climate change, inequality, and poverty — by contributing towards the advancement of the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
We launched faster investments
You asked for it, and we listened. Back in October, we started offering faster investments with Spaceship Voyager. Now, if you invest before 5pm on a business day, you’ll generally receive your units on the next business day, although larger investments may take longer.
We hit 100k customers
We also took a huge step for Spaceship-kind. More than 100,000 customers are now using Spaceship to invest in their future!
We bought and sold some stocks
We recently made some changes to the Spaceship Universe Portfolio.
We bought Twilio and we sold Constellation Software, Elmo Software, Pinnacle Investment Management, and Sonic Healthcare.
We’ll be sending more information on why we chose to buy and sell these early next year.
Also this year...
We made it possible for Spaceship Voyager customers to link their Spaceship Super accounts — and see when, where and how their super is invested — within the Spaceship app.
We combined our two websites into one brand spanking new website.
We launched push notifications.
We launched a web app for Spaceship Voyager customers.
And we all survived the rollercoaster ride at the beginning of the year, when we saw markets reach all-time highs (in February), and then shortly after, hit some serious speed bumps as fears over the coronavirus pandemic set in.
With that in mind, we know it hasn’t necessarily been an easy year — whether you’re an investor or not! But every day, we receive messages from customers, and it always reminds us why we’re here at Spaceship — so we can enable you to invest in your future.
We love hearing from you. We love that you share your thoughts with us, tell us what we could do better, and tell us when you’re happy. It’s awesome.
And that’s a wrap! Have a great holiday season.
The newsletter will be taking a small break — but we’ll see you bright and early in January. Here’s to 2021!
