Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)

Diversify your investment portfolio with low-cost funds that trade like shares on major exchanges.

Diversify your portfolio with ETFs

ETFs combine the diversification of a managed fund with the trading flexibility of shares. These funds typically have lower fees than managed funds and give you exposure to a wide range of assets — from broad market indices to specific sectors, commodities, geographical regions, or even emerging thematics.

Understanding risk in ETFs

ETFs offer instant diversification and trading flexibility similar to shares, making them a transparent and cost effective investment vehicle for many investors. They carry market risks like any other investments and some specialised ETFs can be more volatile or complex. While fees are typically low, they can still impact long-term returns. Overall ETFs are an efficient way to build a balanced portfolio with transparent costs and offer a lower barrier to entry than many other investments.
