Overview
Wealthsimple offers 3 different client statuses: Core, Premium and Generation.
To upgrade to a new status, you must meet the minimum required threshold through either the value of your net deposits or the value of your entire Wealthsimple portfolio.
For more information on Premium and Generation plans, check out our overview articles:
Status eligibility requirements
| Core | Premium | Generation |
|---|---|---|
| None | Minimum $100,000 in net deposits or $100,000 in total assets across your Wealthsimple accounts† | Minimum $500,000 in net deposits or $500,000 in total assets across your Wealthsimple accounts† |
† Excludes portfolio line of credit balances.
Calculating net deposits
Net deposits are calculated by adding up the total amount of money you deposit or transfer into all of your Wealthsimple accounts (including managed and trading, crypto, and chequing accounts). Please keep in mind that recent deposits can take up to 72 hours to reflect in your status progress.
Your net deposits won't decrease if the value of your portfolio decreases due to market fluctuations. However, your net deposits will decrease when:
- You withdraw or transfer funds out of your account(s)
- You make a foreign exchange (FX) conversion and are charged an FX fee
How a portfolio line of credit affects your status
Borrowing through a portfolio line of credit doesn't affect your status. Amounts you borrow are excluded from both your net deposits and your total assets when we calculate your status. Only the assets you own are counted.
