Low Cost Diversification

Exchange traded funds, commonly known as ETFs, are an increasingly popular investment vehicle especially for portfolio diversification and risk management. ETFs can be easily purchased on the Australia stock market or on global exchanges and can be a low-cost way to get access to multiple stocks in a particular market or sector.

ETF Landscape

In Australia, the ETF landscape is evolving and continues to grow at a phenomenal rate. Assets under management (AUM) in the Australian ETFs market have more than tripled over four years to 2018 to around $25 billion. While globally, AUM for exchange-traded products increased by over 80 per cent over four years to 2018 and totalled around $5 trillion at the end of 2016, with the United States accounting for over 70 per cent of global AUM.

How it Works

An ETF usually comprises an investment portfolio or basket of securities such as shares, bonds, commodity and more. ETFs use an indexing approach to track their value.Investors can easily and quickly gain access to diversified investment portfolios at a low cost. This provides the flexibility to invest in different underlying portfolio while benefiting from changes in portfolio value.

Through POEMS Trade, investors are able to access not only ETFs from Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) but also overseas ETFs listed in over 20 international stock exchanges.
