Wealthsimple Predict

Wealthsimple Predict is a Canadian prediction market — a place to trade on the outcome of real-world events. Buy and sell contracts whose value depends on what happens next.

What is a prediction market?
A prediction market lets you trade contracts based on what you think will happen next. Each contract is a simple yes or no position on a future event. Buy a contract if you think the outcome will happen; sell if you don't. The prediction market price reflects what traders collectively believe — and if your position is correct, the contract settles at $1.

How trading works
Every contract on Wealthsimple Predict trades between 1 cent and 99 cents. The price represents an implied probability. A contract trading at 65 cents means the market sees roughly a 65% chance of that event occurring. You trade based on your own view — and the price you pay for a contract is the most you can lose.

What you can trade on
Take a position on the events you actually follow. Wealthsimple Predict offers contracts across economics, weather, financial markets, sports, and culture — all categories approved by Canadian regulators.
Will the Bank of Canada hold rates steady? Will inflation surprise to the upside? Will your team make the playoffs? If you have a view, you can trade on it.

Transparent and peer-to-peer
Prediction markets on Wealthsimple Predict are peer-to-peer. For every contract there's a buyer and a seller. Prices update in real time based on trading activity. There's no operator advantage, no built-in spread, and no hidden edge — just a transparent market.

Clear resolution
Every event market has a defined resolution source published before trading opens. You always know how and when an outcome will be decided. No ambiguity, no discretion.
