We just added [The Student Economy](https://invest-now.apps.easyequities.io/theme/The%20Student%20Economy) to our platform. This captures companies thriving in student spending, education, housing, and tech. Don't you think that Students are the ultimate test market? They are your early adopters, trendsetters, and hyper-connected consumers who spend on what matters. They touch on different points like education, housing, tech, lifestyle -  you name it. if a brand isn’t part of their ecosystem now, it’s missing out on decades of loyalty. ![](https://properties.easyequities.co.za/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Feb-28-2025-01-15-32-0202-PM.png?width=1434&height=380&name=image-png-Feb-28-2025-01-15-32-0202-PM.png) What's inside the Student Economy Theme? - **Education & EdTech**: Coursera, Stadio Holdings, AdvTech Group, and Curro Holdings are turning education into a flexible, digital-first experience. Higher education is only getting pricier, making accessible alternatives a booming business. - **Student Housing**: Investors are cashing in in on [high-demand student rentals](https://properties.easyequities.co.za/view-properties), property ETFs, and stacking their portfolios with [properties](https://platform.easyproperties.co.za/properties/property/53) that guarantee steady occupancy. Universities give out degrees, but private companies are the ones housing the future workforce. - **Retail & Lifestyle**: Students might live on a budget, but they spend where it counts like Shoprite and TFG. *Everyone be honest here - *McDonald’s and Starbucks are basically study hall extensions. - **Tech & Services**: Students live and breathe online. Apple is their gateway to the world. Meta keeps them connected. Netflix fuels their late-night binge sessions. Uber is their ride to class (or the party). PayPal makes sure everyone’s covered on split bills. We can go on and on. **The student economy isn’t some side hustle** It’s a core driver of consumer spending. The companies embedded in student life now might just be the ones running the game for years to come. Do you think it's time to get in early?

All trades on the EasyProperties platform are subject to the legal terms and conditions to which you agree to be bound. The EasyProperties platform enables users to invest in securities which includes whole shares and fractional share rights (FSRs). EasyProperties acts an agent for the issue of whole shares, where the investor is the registered owner of those shares, entitled to dividends, participation in corporate actions and all the economic benefits and risks associated with share ownership. In respect of FSRs, EasyEquities acts as principal to a contract for difference issued to the investor, where the investor will have a contractual claim against EasyEquities to the economic benefits and risks associated with share ownership (price movements and dividends) without having ownership rights in the underlying share. Fractional share rights (FSRs) which are issued through a contract for difference, are an over the counter derivative. Unlike whole shares, FSRs do not carry any voting rights. As the investor makes further investments in FSRs and ultimately ends up with a whole share, the contract for difference is closed out and ownership whole share is delivered to the investor. The availability of any share on the EasyProperties platform is based on various factors but is not an indication of value and does not mean that any share is an appropriate investment for you. The value of a share is not guaranteed. The value can go down as well as up due to variable market factors. An investor may not recoup the full amount invested. Past performance is not necessarily an indication of future performance. Examples and/or illustrations are not guaranteed and are provided for illustrative purposes only. - [TERMS & CONDITIONS](https://resources.easyequities.co.za/EasyProperties%20terms%20and%20conditions.pdf?_ga=2.180479586.438977710.1624523653-1438223146.1622461559) - [TERMS OF USE](https://resources.easyequities.co.za/EasyProperties%20website%20terms%20of%20use.pdf?_ga=2.214548946.438977710.1624523653-1438223146.1622461559) - [PRIVACY POLICY](https://resources.easyequities.co.za/EasyProperties%20privacy%20policy.pdf?_ga=2.142338551.438977710.1624523653-1438223146.1622461559) - [COMPLAINTS PROCESS](https://resources.easyequities.co.za/EasyProperties%20complaints%20policy.pdf?_ga=2.142338551.438977710.1624523653-1438223146.1622461559) - [FAIS DISCLOSURE](https://resources.easyequities.co.za/EasyProperties_EasyEquities%20FAIS%20disclosure.pdf?_ga=2.142338551.438977710.1624523653-1438223146.1622461559) - [ACCESS TO INFO MANUAL](https://resources.easyequities.co.za/EasyProperties%20access%20to%20information.pdf?_ga=2.142338551.438977710.1624523653-1438223146.1622461559) - [COST PROFILE](https://resources.easyequities.co.za/EasyProperties%20Cost%20Profile.pdf?_ga=2.141626999.438977710.1624523653-1438223146.1622461559) ![](https://googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/viewthroughconversion/954690624/?value=0&guid=ON&script=0)
