Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs)
The ETF market is expanding globally, including significant growth in both local and international spheres.
What are ETFs?
An Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) is an open-ended investment fund listed on a stock exchange. They have become increasingly popular as investment options due to their simplicity, resembling stock trading, and being a cost-effective method for implementing various investment strategies.
ETFs cover a wide array of assets, including equities (both Australian and global), fixed income, currencies, and commodities. Additionally, there are multi-asset solutions tailored to different risk profiles.
Most ETFs aim to closely mirror the performance of a specific index or asset class and are known as passive ETFs. Conversely, active ETFs (or exchange-traded managed funds) strive to outperform an index, aiming to deliver returns that exceed a particular benchmark.
ETFs can be categorized into two types: ‘physical’ and ‘synthetic’. Physical ETFs typically hold all or a representative sample of the securities in an index. In contrast, synthetic ETFs often utilize derivatives (such as options, swaps, futures) to emulate the performance of a specific asset or index.
