The parties have entered into an equity investment agreement (the "Initial Share Purchase") as part of a strategic relationship pursuant to which State Street Global Advisors will acquire approximately 5 percent of Raiz's share capital through a placement.
In addition, the strategic relationship will see State Street Global Advisors' trusted brand and deep knowledge of markets come together with Raiz's mobile-first platform, which helps Australian retail investors with micro-investments primarily in exchange-traded funds (ETF) and model portfolios. Leveraging State Street Global Advisors' international library of resources, insights and trends, Raiz customers will have access to a broader array of financial literacy content and investment education tools.
