R80 Billion Strong: Inside the EasyEquities FY25 Results

Charles’ Letter to Investors

Every year, our CEO shares a letter that grounds the numbers in meaning. This year, Charles’ FY25 message strikes a powerful chord,  a reflection on proof, privilege, and the power of community-built scale.

As he writes, “The privilege hasn’t dulled; it’s sharpened our focus.”

You can read his letter and explore our results here. 

Big Themes and Highlights from our Results

1. Proof over promise.
The income statement “walked the talk.” Or as Charles puts it: “Talk is cheap. Money buys the whisky.”

2. Scale that means something.
EasyEquities now manages R80 billion in client assets, with 2.6 million registered investors and over 1.1 million active clients. It's not bigness for its own sake, but participation turning into progress, and it’s proof that more South Africans are investing, learning, and compounding together.

3. Operating leverage in motion.
Revenue grew by over 25%, expenses were kept disciplined, and profit after tax rose 76.6%. The Easy engine is scaling responsibly with the same heart, sharper focus, and bigger reach.

4. The flywheel, faster.
“Easy isn’t just a platform; it’s a flywheel,” Charles says. We have our products, partners, clients, and shareholders all compounding value together. The ecosystem is finally humming in sync, from Thrive rewards to EasyETFs, EasyRetire, Credit & Protect, and EasyTrader, each feeding into the next.

5. Ambition with heart.
The letter speaks to a “Top 40 intent,” not as a brag, but as a benchmark for what Easy aims to build: scale that serves, performance with purpose, and growth anchored in gratitude.
