Frequently asked questions

ETFs, or exchange traded funds, are investment funds that are traded on an exchange such as the ASX, just like individual stocks. They offer investors the opportunity to own a diversified portfolio of assets, with lower fees and greater flexibility than a traditional managed fund.

ETFs work by tracking a particular index, like the ASX , or by following a specific investment strategy. ETFs invest in a basket of assets providing exposure to a wide range of companies and sectors.

ETFs offer five key benefits, including lower fees, diversification, intra-day trading, tax efficiency, and transparency. With the flexibility and simplicity of ETFs, you can easily build customised portfolios that align with your clients’ goals and risk tolerance, while also saving time and costs.

With active ETFs, professional Fund Managers strategically buy and sell securities to outperform a benchmark index.
Passive ETFs aim to mirror a specific index’s performance, such as the ASX 200, by holding the same securities.

There are several types of ETFs, including:

  • Equity income ETFs
  • Fixed income ETFs
  • Responsible investing ETFs
  • Commodity ETFs
  • Currency ETFs
  • Thematic ETFs

We focus on offering core ETFs across a range of asset classes.

Investing in ETFs is easy and accessible. You can buy and sell ETFs through your brokerage account. All you will need is the ASX ticker.
