Investing, elevated through partnership
At nabtrade, we believe better investing comes from combining the right tools with the right expertise. That’s why we’ve partnered with BlackRock - the world’s largest asset manager and the company behind iShares, one of the world’s largest ETF providers.
Two established leaders. Complementary strengths. A shared focus on supporting better investor outcomes through connected insights, tools and access.
For over 12 years, nabtrade has helped Australians invest with clarity and control - delivering a platform, tools and experience designed for self-directed investors.
BlackRock has served Australian investors for more than 30 years, helping them pursue their long-term financial goals. Globally, BlackRock serves clients in over 100 countries, bringing institutional capabilities, portfolio construction expertise, research, and market insights.
Together, this depth of experience matters.
It means combining a platform built for how Australians invest today, with global perspective shaped across market cycles, asset classes and geographies. By bringing these capabilities into one ecosystem, we aim to create a more complete investing experience - one that goes beyond access, to deliver insights, discipline and opportunities.
